We have lift off!!

Terry picked up my frame and rear end housing, and followed me to the media blaster. I pre-loaded my car with all the loose parts. This trip went off without a hitch, and the blaster is at a Mennonite farm, in my experience this is a good thing!!

Terry has been mentioning that he thinks my car has two different rim widths, but I was sure it doesn't...... He found a Kelsey Hayes sticker inside one of the two black rims and we checked them against the green rims and turns out the offset is different:-) these rims are 14 X 6 but "wide track" I will post pictures latter.

I am so excited to have made it to this critical step!!! So excited I called Al Stager to chat about his old car!
He was very happy to hear about the progress and explained how the frames were made new and painted new, as he was a Tool Maker at Bud in Kitchener where these frames were made new back in the day:-)

Al also mentioned that the original engine failed after a few years of use, not in the first year as I understood before.

I invited Al over as soon as I have shiny parts to show off, and we will go look over the body etc at the same time.

I am one very happy guy today!!
