. . . and the Teardrop that Follows

Update #7 It left for the Cabinet Maker's Today!!

Remember those new fenders I needed? Got 'em! and they're sitting next to my '56 Ford bumper I got for the back of the Tear.

Good Neighbor, Steve, (that's a private joke, huh Steve??) up the street, cut it down and got it put back together with an invisible weld! Just the right size for this little Tear!

My new Tow Vehicle! NOT!

Just a shot of the old fenders loaded and ready to take up to a neighbor who wanted them for his son.

I completed the deck lid and attached it so I could see the fit. After an adjustment here and an adjustment there ~ voila! Perfection!!

And another angle of my pride and joy!

While wife took pictures, someone had to supervise and suggest how she could do it better!

Here's the last time it was in our driveway! It left for Michael's and the cabinets on Friday, April 16th at noon! Now the hard part starts . . . . .
The wait!!
