I have ordered an original style battery from Antique Auto Battery. It should arrive tomorrow. Once I get the battery charged the next step is to get the engine prepared for a test run ASAP.
Today I was able to get the windshield separated from it's frame. Everything has been removed from the body and now it is time to find someone to complete the body work and paint. Replacement body parts are readily available but we believe we can save all the original parts except possibly the tailgate. I am anxious to get the project done.
We are making great progress. I rearranged the garage to make room for the tub and body parts. I need to do some prep prior to having the paint work done. It will probably be May or June before I actually take it to a body shop.
