Tuesday - May 7, getting closer to the first start of the motor

I took a few more pictures of the originality of the car as we get closer to the first start of the engine.




The screws on the dash, some believe these are black phosphate...they are typically brown in color.

A picture under the dash of original "L" 5 grade bolts.


143 flasher - NOS and the turn signals worked as well....

Headlight motors operate

Headlights work, high and low beam.

We're installing Evans coolant in the system to prevent corrosion.

Testing the coolant system for leaks...26 pounds of vacuum is great.

We had the vacuum draw back in the new coolant

Exhaust system installed

Nice example of an original windshield washer tank cap.  Under the cap, you can typically see the diamond logo and if you hold a flashlight to the cap, the light will come through.  Very original caps are also brown in color (Thank you Marty Fowler for the details on this).
