It's not easy preping a car for Concours but I have to have it easier than anyone else because Knikkis' a time casule. She was however, my Pops' daily driver for 4 years or 16 seasons, of Washington DC driving. She needs a good cleaning underneath & I'm so lucky I have no structural rust. I dare anyone to find rust on this car, other than the rust on my engine bar . You'd think she was from Ajo Arizona except for the vintage interior. Wonder if there's any Tenners in Ajo ?

Swapped out the Sacramento from the LE into the six. Put an old 1975 Frankfurt USA in the LE that I landed on eBay for $12.95. Yes, a '75 Frankfurt USA, it works, $12.95 + $5.00 s&h . It was listed as a Fiat X19 stock radio & I guess there isn't enough demand for fixing those up. So no one bid on it for a week & I quietly won it . My Dad's original invoice said they sold us a Blaupunkt- this is wrong, they sold us a Saphire & Pop & I installed it ourselves to save money. Saphire sucked & stopped working years ago so I replaced it w/ the Sacramento, not knowing this mattered for Concours. So I put in a Frankfurt, cheap . Figured why argue w/ written history? Had to make a faceplate for it out of sheet metal. Spraypainted it black & glued new material over the plate.

Also worked on spiffing up the front trunk in the LE, installed the Sacramento into the six, blew out the old Alpine speakers it had & had to replace those w/ cheap Sonys . Cleaning the LE I noticed my door switch gaskets were shot so I replaced those as well. Busy, busy , busy. Blew out a belt on my compressor . Fun! Tinted my windows... on the Garage . Ultra black limo grade 5%.
