Even if we need to push this car into the fairgrounds, it will be an awesome accomplishment. 

Great job guys!!

Life is to be viewed thru the windshield. Not rear view mirror.
You are the only one in charge of your destiny.

We took her out last night for a 10 mile test drive. The steering wandered and when we got back the gear box was leaking. We also found a oil leak that we think was coming from the rubber banana gaskets in the pan.. So this morning CP removed the steering gear box and dropped the oil pan. We are now in the process of putting the oil pan back on. CP already has the new gear box in. It's been a long few days, but very rewarding! We won't need to push her to Carlisle....she'll be ready...thanks to CP!  :worship:

Dang cars. It doesn't seem to matter how careful you are or who rebuilt the parts, always teething problems and leaks.

Pixie is looking great.  Wish I was going to Carlisle.  Never been, yet.

so looks like the windshield rubber worked.....awesome :banana:

Yes, it worked...but with a LOT of human persuasion and muscle. Not a job any of us want to do again!

Thanks Alan! We will definitely be putting on a white stripe, but we will be taking it back to the paint shop after Carlisle for some issues we found. So after they fix that, the stripe will go on.

The stripe will look good.  You have to feel great about what you accomplished.  Nicely done!   :banana:

You should see if they'll re-spray the door the same colour as the rest of the car  :alan2cents:
