Those 1936 plates are unique, to my knowledge the only ones where the series number (14th) was included, preceding the vehicle number.

Going to have to replate the door handles.

The blotch won't come out.

Windwings cleaned up.

Got the windshield in.

Gerry helped. His son objective observer.

As gerry put it. If the windshield broke. . .

Have some adjusting to do. But was able to lock corners.

Using the sealant steel recommends . is a mess.

It went in smooth. Otherwise..

Found out afterward gerry has the shims...
