The radio will be sent out in the near future to convert to an Aurora design. Still need to install the missing wiper arm when I find the missing burr, does anybody has one? Probably same part for many model year. Few pictures I took today Wow 😍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elpad Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Wiper burr and wipers are on. Still coat the windshield with RainX which I think works better than the wipers although the car has not seen rain yet! The radio was converted and ready but I will make a trip to pick it up at Sarasota, Fl. So future install is in order. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elpad Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Well, Toby received its First AACA Junior award in Melbourne, Fl meet however; it looks that I will have to remove and repair, or replace the gas tank after I made a mistake when I crossed the rear tie down straps and punctured the tank with the hook end while ratcheting the straps. Got the car started with the gas that was left in the carb and lines and was able to drive it out the trailer into the house garage. Had to vent the trailer for fumes and will deal with removing the tank in the near future. Glad that it happened on the way back from the show. Never a dull moment! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elpad Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 The gas tank was removed and repaired. A new sender unit gasket was installed and the tank is back on the car. Toby was cranked and lives to see another day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
