Danny Boy is BAACK! w/ '55 Big Window

Checking in. I've been out of town awhile. Stopped by paint jail today to see the reassembly progress.

The painter does ordinary insurance work since it pays the bills. I understand but it's frustrating. Anyway, the front clip is final assembled and hood installed, though gaps have not been set as the criss-cross bracing has yet to be installed.

After this:
1. Rear fenders will be installed w/welt
2. Install tailgate.
3. THEN he will repair the assorted paint damage.

Out of the paint shop I'll still need to do/get done:
1. Install & connect tail lights.
2. Charge AC,
3. Door panels, cranks & arm rests.
4. Connecting stereo & speakers.
5. Bumpers & rear license mount & light.
6. Longer rear wheel studs & 1/4" spacers

This doesn't even speak to having the upholstery finished, making an under-dash valance for the AC vents and I'm certain many other things I'm not thinking of right now.

If a moderator can rotate these pics I'd appreciate it.
