I have a real live update on Randy's/ my Caribbean managed to organize and move things in my garage to start actual work on project. Have been working on going over parts I had gotten from Randy's home after his passing with the cooperation of his Daughter who was extremely helpful under the sad conditions of her father and sisters. Any way got parts and car in my garage now had to track down some parts that got hauled away by mistake from one of Randys storage sites. So far have been lucky or blessed maybe Randy is still following his project and trying to keep me on his desired path.
Took a while to get someone to move car located local guy who did excellent job and was very careful while loading and unloading car. He made sure hood and trunk and door were secured. One of last things Randy told me was to make sure hood was tied down before moving as latch was not installed and that a replacement hood would be hard to find. Had to clean car as quite a bit of dust and dirt were on I washed and cleaned. Started installing parts I have. The learning process is on going as I was not involved in removing any parts. For me its like putting a puzzle together without having the picture of finished picture. My prior training slash experience is limited to Studebakers and my Clipper . I tell people the Caribbean is my Clippers older rich uncle. Have been telling my friends I will spend this winter in the Caribbean.
Really happy about chrome and stainless trim pieces have all I need except short piece of stainless on front fender and trunk lock handle with key.
