55.2-59 1958 Saab story

Almost finished with the body work. Got a little more putty to do on the passenger headlight, but it's close to paint. Since it's not up on the lift, I forgot about the part behind the passenger rear tire. I'll get to it soon enough.

I finished up the body work around the headlights and on the rear wheel opening. Once I get everything I want painted prepped, I'll try to do it all in one shot.

Also, my power window regulators came in today. Looks like I'll be tackling the doors this weekend.

I got rid of the goofy license plate bracket and wanted a cleaner look. I put nut-serts in the door and bought a license plate frame with tag light and 3rd brake light built in.

I didn't see a way to lock the rear doors, so I ordered a new door lock set and replaced the push button with a keyed button. The driver's door and rear door will having matching locks. I'll have to reach over to lock/unlock the passenger door from the inside. That what we do in dad's 59 pickup, so we're already used to it.

I got my load resistors in so I wired them in line to slow the flashing rate on the turn signals. With that taken care of, I wired up the headlights with the new harnesses. I had to put the camera on night mode to get pictures of the low and high beams. And I installed the front bumper side marker lights.

I like the headlights. You’re making great progress.
