So I re-did the leaky axle boots this am and refilled the trans with 90-wt. Seems to be OK.

Also got the clam back on to see if the shroud interferes with its closing. It does not! The engine cover latches nice with about a quarter inch to spare. Big relief.IMG_3571IMG_3572IMG_3573

I re-did the front turn latches because the square key on the original aluminum jobbies stripped. The new ones are zinc steel bolts ground and filed to shape. pita but they work. IMG_3568

The prop rod and leather catch strap (both in the style of the original) are also made and in.

I tried to adjust the hood slightly too since it was just a hair too tight and ripped a thumbnail's worth of new paint off the nose of the car, right where everyone will notice. IMG_3554

Work continues on the wiring....
