Joe - the battery was marked as 4 months old when I bought the car, but I have no idea of what condition the battery was or is in. I need to get a dedicated trickle charger and a cut off switch. Right now I'm just pulling the negative lead when I'm not using the car to keep the battery from draining too much. I like your idea of having the trickle charger wired up in the car ready to plug in.

John - Thanks! It is definitely looking better. I still need to do a bunch of work with the trim. The windshield trim is not fully installed into the gasket (that's a nightmare), and I haven't finished the lower trim. But it's all coming together.

Acolds - That's most of the reason why I got the car....so I could enjoy it with my family. The kids are very excited to see it running. Once I get some of these bugs worked out I plan on taking each kid on separate daddy-daughter dates to get ice cream. Then the boys when they get older. My wife and I will do regular date nights driving the Panama.
