A little update. Needed to dust off the car (literally) as I haven't driven it since I moved in Sept and really taken it out since I experienced a shifter issue in May.
Something weird happened back in May after driving it at a weekend long event in downtown here. I went to reverse and while I could feel it indent and kick into reverse, the column indicator was pointing st 'D. Like the shift geometry suddenly changed. So I haven't wanted to drive it as I didn't know of the problem was in the column or something with the shift arm in the tranny. So today I pulled the steering wheel off and realized that the levers between the column shift rod and the indicator had come loose. The indictator was getting stuck and caused the arm attached to the top of the shift rod to break loose. So I greased the indicator pivot point and reset the geometry between the two and locked everything back down. Working like a Dickenson Orphan again! Trying to make a push on the car so I can bring it out to the PI Meet in a couple of weeks. Life is getting back to a point where I can work on the car and actually take it out again. Stay tuned for more updates.

I learn the hard way to manage a huge project as series of discrete steps, each with its own beginning and end. I think people jump into large projects and start spinning too many plate at once and then it becomes overwhelming. Good luck with your project. Take lots of pics as they are a great record and really help later on when you can remember things.

Spent a little time today putting some wax on that car. Also had to buff out a couple of minor scratches that appeared on the car in the shuffle of all the moving.
I went from having a dedicated garage for the car, to a garage that is also our laundry room and overflow storage from merging two households. So not as much free clearance around the car as before.

Took the Clipper to a little car show and let her have some fun in the sun.

What a good looking car, well worth all your hard work. My only question is what is " Working like a Dickenson Orphan again!"? I would guess something missing in my reading as a kid.
Thanks! Wes

I think Kev is sharing a bit of English humor. Nicely done, sir.
