Thanks for the note. I have followed your resurrection faithfully and only wish I had the time and patience to go into it as deep as you. I did manage to get a few things sorta correct:

- Lucas switches and Smiths gauges (still haven't installed all the Smiths for fear of them failing.)
- Lucas wiring harness clips
- Original style aluminum wire ties straps from Nick at Acton Custom
- Vinyl covering on the rear bulkhead
- Footbox vents with correct dash knobs

The opposite side radiator Hurricane uses is bugging me, so swapping that out for the period-correct setup will be a winter 2009 project. And I have decided to retro my side oiler with a turkey pan, original-style chrome valve covers and a puke tank. I'm this close, might as well go all the way.
