Re: Howard's 47 Custom project

All the window guides and parts have been reassembled, glass has arrived but not installed in the frames yet. Have spent more time under the car and on mechanical things. Getting too old for that crap. Had a heck of a time standing back up after the last crawl under. At least I could sit on the stool for the axles.

The false front repro prewar AC enclosure has arrived. It is a very nice job so quite pleased with the workmanship Joe did. Now I have to figure out how to make my modern unit fit inside and still work in the car. After that a mount and how to hide the modern ducts. Once all that is determined, can finish the cleaning and rust repair of the trunk. There starts another project in getting that done.

Also need to figure out what the Clipper color for the trunk AC unit should be. It's in primer now so any ideas?? Photos of the unit in conventional bodies seem to be all over green, black, brown. The only photo I have of a Clipper is the "McArthur" car and it appears to be light in that photo. Never heard back from the fellow in Texas with an AC Clipper so guess he is not an option.
