Hi Fitz,
Impressive build. Maybe we can discuss you doing some work on my 51. I'm in Calgary now, and my car is still located back in Montreal. Maybe when I come back on a break we can talk.
Great work! Is this the original dash harness or a repro? Either way it looks great!

It's a repro, made by Narragansett. The craftmanship is perfect, but they have to use mine as a template, and, it was not identical...don't know why, and it was very long journey to get it back!! In the overall I'm happy with, and most important, some electrical «gremlin» I had with the car they seem to have disappeared, like the quality of the lighting, more strong. And as expected start faster.
Where did you send the seats ... and how much did they charge you to refurnish them ? I recently bought a 51 styleline and was looking for a trustworthy place to send the seats too . I did find a couple of places but i'm not impressed by the quality of their work .

Here is a update,
I had a heater leak, I fixed it and ajust the doors correctly before the weatherstrip. Also, put back the glove door. Stay tuned!
here is update. I didn't work a lot on the 53 since I had a 57 as you know in the shop. We did some Under dash cleaning on the 57 and make some things working again. The Customer take his car back home for the summer, so I worked on mine just a little. Another car will take place next week, a chevy 51 pickup.
I put back the sunvisor and took the door panel out with the seat to be recovered. And I worked on the rear side glass.
WOW WEE that is looking great! im guessing you will drive this summer,i love the door handle plates mine doesnt have those and when mine came it had a visor but nowhere to be found! thanks again for the brake line pictures you are getting close to the finish line indeed!TIMBUK

And now some few hours of work today.
Fitz.
Here it is, some work today
Fitz.
Now that is attention to detail!!! Great job! Must have great patients, I always chip the paint!
Non pas cet été mais peut-être cet automne avant que la neige tombe...
No not this summer, but maybe the next autumn before the snow...
Fitz.
Beautiful job phenomenal patience
I must be AC/DC or ODC or attention delete...
I would never keep my interest level there...
I can do a few things at a time, but never years to finish a car...
Here I am!
The seats are in the upholstery shop, the seat frame will be painted to match the new interior color.

Just simply B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L.
