So it’s already well into the Winter of 2011 and the task list is long. The first auto-x will likely be held in March, so the car needs to be back on the ground with most of the items complete by or around the 4th weekend. Not a big deal, but planning is key. Here’s what the list looks like now:
So, lots of small items there, but I don’t want to forget anything and it helps to see it all written down in front of my face.
The more critical items include getting the 17” wheel set from Bob Lacey at Vintage Wheel ready with the A6’s mounted (275/315), my steering column converted over to include a quick disconnect, the fuel filler assembly changed over to a more robust solution since the roller cap was relocated to the roof, as well as, getting the ride height and alignment sorted. The fitting of the split trunk lid, associated hardware, and transport of those pieces and Hardtop off to paint really aren’t necessary until the middle of April, as I have a goal of taking the car to the Carlisle Import and Replicar show the third weekend in May. I also found that the backspacing on my FIA wheels wasn’t machined correctly to ERA’s specifications, so I had that corrected and will be taking them off to have them powder coated completely black over the next few weeks.
There’s a little bit of catching up to do with regard to documenting some of the things already accomplished on the list, so as I get time, I’ll be continuing with more updates.
