Was able to do a little bit of finish up work on the car today. Finally got the spacers on the struts seated correctly. Had to put additional washers on the emergency brakes. (Pulling forward they were fine but were hanging up in reverse).
Ended up taking the easy way with the windshield wipers. The cable unit I was trying to get to work looked awesome but the motor was just obnoxiously large (couldn’t find a suitable place to mount it and keep a reasonably straight cable). So two individual motors works good looks OK. Just waiting to change out my instrument cluster until the very end found a brand new one never installed. That will be my cars treat when it passes its inspection......
As for DOT requirements I think I’m done. Still playing with the exhaust going to change the angle of the muffler to stand it more upright that will give the cooler more air flow and also put the heat further behind it. Other than that need some warmer weather to rework the front hood so that it can be water tight around the windshield and be able to shed water in a trough below the wipers.
SLOWLY it’s getting there.
