I replaced the "ratrod" style Maltese cross taillight on the '52 with one of the correct reproduction taillights I have been hoarding. I intended to wait until we did the paint and body work, but couldn't stand it any longer. I also did some more trimming and test fitting of floor panels. Hopefully, we will have them installed, along with kick panel patches, over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
My biggest hamper, other than money, to this whole process is keeping my butt out of the driver's seat. I started to take the '46 to town today to pick up some panel bond, but the battery was dead. A reasonable man would've taken the daughter 's "modern" Jimmy. I'm not reasonable. I threw the temporary, quarter inch steel "floor pans" that the old farmer had been using in the '52 for the past 30 years back in, and away to town we went. Too much fun driving the antiques and life is too short to drive normal rides.
