Yes, they are still out there NUMBER 2

[Bruce in southern OH]

Have just about got the basics of the 39 LZ wiring done, I now have a 12 volt blower motor and will work on installation tomorrow. I picked up the tools I have borrowed from Don P. and made a trip to his garage today, took the two fender skirts with me to un-stick the skirts locks. I knew they were rusted up and dirty, found the problem with them after removal. Repaired one passenger side today and will work on the other tomorrow. Hope to install before Saturday evening Christmas Parade, will make a big difference in appearance.

Fender Skirt lock device before removal, froze in time.

Removed from skirt, lots of heat on the three screws that hold device to the skirt, next was the locking movable bolt removal, small screw came loose with impact screw driver.

Shop blasted the outside of device so we could see how to remove covers

After Don P. and I removed the cover, device was filled solid with rusty sand/dried dirt. Took photo after we removed most dirt.
