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 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.

one more thing, you might want to test those windshield retaining clips , because they get brittle with age, and the first set they made at 914rubber were hard but brittle and so I had half a dozen of them snap off on me tryin to get them to hold the trim in place. Mark and Matt have since cured that issue and now use a different material so this is not an issue with their newest ones, but I actually reused some of my original ones because I didn't have enough with out ordering new ones and like you I had like 2 weeks to finish my job to get the car to Okteenerfest that year.
just be careful and test one for flexibility . you should be able to bend the pin without snapping in 2 pieces, same with the clip. Phil |
