Hot Rods Another Deuce Five Window Gets my Attention

Finished the rear taillights and spreader bar and redid wiring. Car now has license plate light and I eliminated about six foot of unnecessary wire. I have found some weird stuff on this car.

 

Took the grill shell and inert off the car today. The insert had some surface rust. When taking it apart I discovered that the insert was installed in the shell with sheet metal screws and then black rubber caulk was on the back to hold them in. I have never seen such lousy work.
All finished sanding the insert and painting. Also cleaned and touched up the shell. Insert installed the way it should be. Ready to go back on tomorrow.

 

Finished the windshield wiper this morning. There was a motor just flopping around in header panel. Now mounted properly and wired. Chopped the arm and blade.
Started working on front suspension the rest of the day.

 

Finished going over the front end today. Spring, shackles, front brakes and wheel bearings all serviced. Front brakes actually looked great just needed some lube at friction points.
