I was able to snatch up an NOS set of Westinghouse high and low beams for the Bee! The driver's side were replacement later style Halogen. And while probably brighter, they don't look right with those narrow fluting. So I snatched these up for, umm.....let's say, retirement is now postponed. Yep...things were going real well in the Molnar Hacienda. Then I went ahead and bought these light bulbs [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]
But you can see that these wide fluted jobbies will just look so right up front. Shine on Me has the bezels and grille and they should be done in about another month. Can't wait to get them back!!!
Clock rebuild time! I'm replacing the movement with a quartz conversion. I think this may be my first classic car EVER that the clock will work! I'm going to run a lead over to Grady's car this year and tap off of his battery just so everyone can see a clock work in classic car. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] I know the movement won't be the same. It'll be more of a sweep than than the "tic" that was original.
I'll be lucky to get even a 100 point score the way I'm going. I can hear the judge now... "OK, Dave, if that IS your real name. Your clock tic is off, and actually, why it's even working since your battery is unplugged is another point off. The anchor on your upper lower whoosits control button is more like the anchor from the Lusitania and it needs to be more like the one from the Mauretania...that's another two points. And since you've wasted my time from judging other more correct cars.....double points off! Actually, now that I'm adding this up. You seem to owe me five points...Hmmm....not realy sure how that happened... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]"
