906-127
February 15, 2005
Well,
as you can see, 127 has been out of the booth for about a
month.
Assembly
has begun, and while Jack and I are still in the body shop,
Andy is flat out bolting this thing together.
Jack and
Andy are painting the final gray. There are at least two shades
of gray in 906s. There is dark gray and medium gray. The remaining
original pieces from this car showed signs of the darker gray
so that's what we're using.
Detail,
detail, detail.
We try
to do it nice, but a little bit of character (a drip or run)
never killed anybody.
We leave
the doorsills unpainted until the cockpit is completely assembled.
Andy has
worked overtime and has most all the suspension installed
on the car. Remember, most these parts were already restored
and sitting in the assembly cart waiting to be installed.
Anytime
we can't think of a job that will take less than a day, we
bolt on something that's simple, ie: the front blinkers. This
keeps us psyched up.
Andy has
now installed new Girling master cylinders. You can still
buy the original brake reservoirs but you gotta kill to get
the blue top caps.
Andy will
start installing the brake lines after the wire harness is
installed.
