Hey Ed-


Thanks for the reference pic! What is the black sticker to the right of the fan warning sticker on the condenser fan? Got a high-res pic with a ruler next to it?

Hi Rob - Dang I knew you'd ask for that one, and the part number sticker on the rad too. I should have snapped them first. I'll have to snap one for you and get it to you tomorrow evening - off to bed now!

Ed, always a treat to see your car, thanks for the help!


I wore Rob out this weekend checking off details that, at least in our case, take lots of minor adjustments, time, trail and error. But it is rewarding to see the hood complete its guest room tour of Santa Ana and Irvine since Christmas and reacquainted with its home.

Do you need one of those lock latching arms, I have one if you do (78).

And yes, lube works wonders in many, many applications.

Stickers look great, are you going to be selling an entire set to fellow 78'ers?

Brian.

Looks like Kermit pulled a Houdini and coughed up her rear swaybar. Impressive Wish we could have been there with Minerva!

Hi Brian- Sure, though we want to make sure that they won't curl up and peel off the first time they get to 200 degrees. Will have William do some torture testing and report back.

Ok guys, here are some requested pictures of stickers and (for Alex) tools. I'll get the air pump box hopefully this weekend.
