Replaced the wiper motors, and are now both fully functional.....even though they'll see very little use.
Working on horns now....trying real hard to keep them oe.
Going to tackle a front bumper shortly.
The motor situation is still no further along than it was last year.

I will get by….I will survive
Do you have a picture of what that full horn looks like? I took some off my ‘64 and have another pair I accumulated at some point. One of the horns from my ‘64 worked and one didn’t. Might be helpful if you can’t get that one working…

Mine are different….maybe might weren’t original…or from a later year maybe.

I think Coolerman has an article on restoring horns on his website.

Things are really happening now.
Linkages are linked.
Fine tuning is being tuned.
Things are being put in places and staying there with torque settings or cotter pins that are bent.
Plan is start motoring around the neighborhood in the next few months.

Do those bushings on the shift linkage fit tight? I found some on McMastercar but they have a little play in them.

Trivia detail….the shock bushing washers are backwards.
Where did you find those?
