Not much progress lately on the Ghost, life got in the way. Now that we've gotten past a few big events and I've gotten my ND and Alberta summer crews into the field I can get a little time to work on the car again.

I had put some hubcaps on last fall, then removed them to detail and of course that process chipped up the paint on the wheels. So I removed them all and touched the paint up today. Took the opportunity to grease all the front end zerks, and now I've pulled the exhaust system off so that I can shorten my front pipe about an inch, which will allow the muffler to move forward a bit and give me some room to fabricate a hanger at the rear of the muffler. Stuff only I will know about but it was bugging me.

My lovely wife is feeling better and has made some progress on the rear seat cover, once she is happy with the details she'll sew it up and then I'll see how it fits on my rebuilt seat padding.

I tried to test fit the rear wheel skirts but the LH fender is too beat up at the rear, so that side doesn't fit. But the skirts themselves are in decent shape, so we'll get them correct when the body work gets done.
