Yes, only 3rd. I do not see an 8-ball or hand grenade shift knob. Those are a must for any first or second place consideration.

No grenades or 8 balls...Does the spare tire buy me anything?

Still hoping to hear at any moment from the painter..but until then..

I decided to clean up the horn and get it ready for paint...

These pictures are just to show me where all the parts go when it's time to re-assemble...

The only tricky spot was the orientation of the tab on the vibrating disc...



It needs to rest against the phenolic plate where the points are mounted..

I always like finding these marks. Back then the manufacturers were proud of their products and wanted everyone to know who made them...

I posted another thread about the friction washers on the outside rear view mirror. I got some good suggestions but then I found these...

http://www.lowbrowcustoms.com/p2220/buy/fab-parts/hardware/washers-amp-grommets/standard/3-8-quot-/cycle-standard-leather-washers-1-quot-diameter-x-1-8-quot-thick-with-3-8-quot-hole-10-pack/

I'm not sure if the originals were leather but these work great and I'll use them elsewhere, like under the driver seat legs...

I'm posting this here just to keep things in one thread..

And I'm still waiting to hear from the painter....

Very cool! 8-)

I don't know if they are original or not, but ya just can't go wrong with leather washers on an old vintage Willys.�

So the tub went to the painter this morning.....paint maybe in a couple of weeks...??

If you do some of your own body work, be sure to take the tub out into the bright sunlight once in awhile....I couldn't believe the little nicks and sanding marks that came to life in the bright light!

The bottom of the tub, fenders and hood will get sprayed today, and the rest early next week!

It will be as close a match as I can get to Potomac Gray..

Ya know, it may not look much different from the tub picture above!
