As It Stands

As a general update, I'll give you a report on how the Jackwagen is at this very moment.

The car is running, inspected, registered, and licensed. I did take the insurance off of it, however, after I got a newer car that Grandma could go shopping in.

The transmission is in it and seems to be working well. Not fully tested, however.

I haven't yet gotten it over 30MPH as one of the brake lines needs to be replaced. I did end up picking one up when I received my motor, but it's not in yet.

By the photograph, you'll see that I let the fender rust a great deal. I didn't get it painted before we took the carport down and it was necessary for inspection.

I am still trying to track down the individual of whom the specialty it is to repair heater channels. They are in really bad shape and I can't just ignore them. I have to get them done before the car is painted.

That brings me to the car being painted. The whole car needs to be painted at this point and I really should have it done before snow falls.

The glass is not in perfectly, either, but we'll see to that when the painting is done.

The electrical is still in chaos, but it works. Someday I'll get a stock-style fuse box. I hear they're quite handy and I can't really find anything else that really turns me on.

The back seat I can live without.

If you see anything else that needs obvious attention, feel free to make a note of it. I am finally giving it some attention after I spent my life savings keeping the city off my back.
