Started to rain as I gave the headlight bucket a coat of paint, must be beer o clock.

These rubbers are a little dry and perished. They got the baby oil. But I will keep an eye out for new ones

G'day Stephen,
I got my kit from http://www.earlyholdenparts.com.au and the guys name is Roger. they guy seems a pretty decent fella, as I had to phone him up for a coupe of little dramas which I had and he was very helpfull. as for the kit I find it hard to fully recommend, as the kit is not a part for part kit, and a couple of the parts simply do not fit.
I had the kit sitting on my shelf for a while and if I knew what I do now and if I had the time I would do some research, a quick search found https://www.chevsofthe40s.com/detail/79 ... _Pump.html

The main reason for my rebuild was mostly due I want to run the vacuum wipers and would like to give them every chance they have, so fingers crossed

regards
Thomo.

Thanks Thomo, a very interesting web site that Chevs of the 40's.

Added a bit of bling to the front end today.

[thomos60]

Spent a couple of hours cleaning up all the nuts and bolts brackets for the bumpers

[thomos60]

Cleaned up the rubbers for the tail lights and have given them a good soaking, would be nice to get some new ones.

I have had my rear lights re chromed, so the lower and upper pieces have been split, ( indicator from the brake light housing), Have other members used rivets to reconnect or nuts and bolts?

regards
Thomo.

Thomo that brightwork brings the blue out stunningly. Can't wait to see the side flashes on. Carn the double blues.

Front bumper on, it was a bit of a pain in the ass putting the corner bolt in.

[thomos60]

The front bumper took most of the day, so I spent the last of it cleaning glass and door mechanisms ready for install, I find myself going from job to job, but I cant help it, I see something laying there and think I can clean that, or prep that for paint, then by the end of the week I have shit laying every where. the next build I am going to be better organized.
