4 days to Amelia!

I thought I’d start a thread for anyone getting your car ready for Werks Reunion/Amelia Island. I’d love hear about your progress. If you’re like me, you probably need some encouragement. I have no idea how a I will get the car ready in time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) But a deadline with some accountability will help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) My goal is to do something on it every day. We will see.

So where are you on getting your car ready?


Here is where I am starting:
I made some more room in the garage and got it turned around today. But family duties kept me from getting anything else done.

Here is what I need to do in the next month or so:

Get engine in
Get engine running - rebuilt, but never run but for a few minutes at most
Install carbs
Pull the alternator back out because I get spark when I hook up battery - back plate of alternator grounding out?
Put side windows and wing windows back in - Uggg
Install new rubber
Install windshield
Install rear window
Install engine lid and 3 powder coated grills
Install headlight covers
Install side rocker covers
Install chrome
Get new tires mounted on wheels
Install master cylinder/bleed brakes
Install shifter hook shift rod up
Install interior - carpet, back pad, etc.
Install new steering wheel

I think that pretty much covers it.
