    When the parts are this nice, assembly is.. tedious. Luckily this car once ran and drove on its own.. So only a few changes were made since then.
    I am just trying to keep up with Eric and Chris taking pictures as they carefully piece this guy together like they were playing an expensive game of operation.

    Chris Hagerty is handling the wire job on this. Normally we would go with an American Autowire harness as we do in most of our builds, but we decided to do something different, we put together a fuse box utilizing glass fuses and a bundle of cloth wire to make a very simple basic harness that looks right at home in this roadster. Look for a full write up on this soon. And yes the yellow tape is just to hold it together while he assembles the harness.

    I like the treatment on the bolts, reminds me of early airplane bolts. A very nice build!

    Love that dash insert, after seeing it I wish I had used my 47 Chrysler Windsor instead of going with a different look in my 47 convertible project.
