If you go back to the top of the thread, mine as it sits now is the same photo, except reversed… but that doesn’t matter. I actually lifted the cover this past weekend to get inside to roll it back a few feet to get the other car out that it was blocking.
Imagine my surprise to see the globebox hanging open with the light still on… just the way I left it when I parked it… in NOVEMBER!!!

the glovebox light stayed lit since November? Did you have a battery tender on it?
Not much different 5 years on…

Thanks for posting this mark. You lit a fire under my butt seeing this done in just 5 weeks. Looks fantastic…
thanks

Yes, absolutely.
Hi Pat,
Having the deadline of Carlisle kept me pushing forward…it was a mission to the point of staying after midnight most of the 5 weeks. Towards the end it was til 2-3-4am and the last day I just stayed all night until I had to leave for Carlisle in the morning. Wednesday now, I think I am finally back on track with sleep.
Sanded, sealed, sanded again, final masking is done. She should be painted before the weekend is over. I can hardly wait to get to it!

Thanks Bill - I just pulled the sensor and am boxing it up to send your way. It was rebuilt 3 yrs ago and worked great with an NOS thermistor and proper cal range on float. That’s all gone out the window now (60-140 ohms, thermistor too high, and the float has liquid in it). Alot less fun to drive it when you don’t know how much gas is in the tank!

Finally carved out the time to get some minor things taken care of and got her off the lift tonight.

We’re about to head out for a day on the boat and I ran up to the grocery store for a few things. Parked by this guy. ‘Merica!
All the pictures are on my phone now, but I have put on 5 miles on the 69 since I got the hydraulic clutch figured out, probably 10 on the 68. The 67 is probably 7u0 percent done with sheet metal replacement. Apparently every single place where there was a lay of metal, there was a layer of rust. And I am still getting parts for the 70 Convertible. I have a new gas tank for it, a new one piece floor pan, lots of wiring. I have had the engine running but it needs a freeze plug above the starter. It started leaking, as soon as I put water in it. But three out of four are now running cars!! Progress is slow, but slow is better than none…
