Default Finishing up my 41 woodie

Am fitting the passenger rear fender today. Apparently the body work was done with fender off the car as I've had to enlarge most of the mounting holes.

Other shot is the fiddleback maple I have on plywood inserts. Sadly I paid more for the new Ron Heiden wood than the car is worth as prices have gone down since 2016. I've been distracted by several other collector cars.

Other finishing up jobs include installing drain rails and hidem. It's a wonder the car has been sitting since 2016 almost finished. Just finished up proving out the wiring which includes built in turn signals. That required some detective work in that I didn't have a diagram for the non standard rear wiring harness. Harness is the original style.

Installed a corvette style master cylinder with remote brake fluid. Makes bleeding brakes easier.

Car is stock except for bendix brakes, master cylinder, and Mitchell overdrive.
