Finally got the lights to work the other day, pretty easy really just some finicking with wire ends thats all.

Got home the other night from work and found my dad joy riding in it late last night in the big parking lot next door. Those bulbs are supper bight for being on the 6 volt system! Just saying.

After all the issues that we have had with this car the last few years, from pulling the engine 3 times, body pans welded on worng, doors not closing due to bent hinges, the family has decided to call this car Rose, she looks pretty but she has thorns.

Very cool thread. Since it started so long ago, it's like watching an entire season on Netflix. 8^)

yup my radiator "flowed" very well but still would over heat. soaking in degreaser overnight and back flushing with a old swimming pool pump blasted alot of grease and bug parts out. No more overheating now!

Nice, this thread is the classic example that the journey is as important as the destination.
