Hi White,

You have done a fantastic job. I'd like to see it sometime when I'm back in Maine.

Glenn

Assembly time! I took pictures as I was taking it apart, but I've got some parts that I've got no idea where they go! The '35 wheels are off my AV8, I had a set of '40 wheels but with the rear fenders on I couldn't get the 7.50x16 off! These will work for now...

You have performed a miracle on your 40.
Truly amazing.

Just a reminder, the OEM's had a strip of cloth electrical tape between the top lip of the dash and the body to prevent squeaks. My 40 was orginally Folkstone grey too. Your's is beautiful.

I've found that old timey sticky cloth electrical tape in a lot of places!
