Re: The Duchess Project: 1940 Super 8 Convertible Sedan

2011 is already a great year, kicking off, not with much football, but with a marathon weekend of Packarding.
OIL FILTER Re-plumbed. I may re-do it with a multi-port fitting and keep both tubes parallel.
SPLASHERS Painting completed with black urethane and skirt added. I used painters drop cloth, a rugged canvas-like material backed by clear plastic which I faced away from the engine compartment. I cut it 5 in wide and folded over the top edge, used a leather belt hole maker tool, the original washers, pop-rivets and tiny nuts on the underside. It looks nice and looks like it would keep water, dust, and dirt out of the engine compartment.
PEDALS/LINKAGE I re-installed the pedals and linkage, cleaning them up as I reassembled. Started rewiring the essentials for starting the car and thought I'd check the radio, too, when that's done.


Anyway, a lot of progress, so said goodnight to Duchess. Back to work tomorrow.
