Trip to Chris' shop...

 

Loaded up the sand blasted/refinished seat frames

...and the '57 seats

Compared them to what you get from Al Knoch reproductions

Chris & I agreed, that we should keep the seats 'as is'

The car is looking beautiful.

Jewelry.

It really has come out amazing.

Paint, trim & details...

Chris Springer's work is second to none!

Very very impressive.

Body install...

 

Rolling chassis over to Springer Restoration...

Looking great!

Rusty seat bracket restoration...

 

Lacquer paint going on...

Fluids, brake master cylinder rebuild

We had already added rear-end gear oil. Time for fresh engine oil...

And transmission gear oil.

Brought the pitted master cylinder to Power Brake Exchange in S.J.

They honed it out and did the rebuild.

Turned out nice!

Old parts shown below the rebuilt master.

The original heater control valve is in bad shape. New one just arrived.
