    I don't know if she is a keeper. It's been only 24 years of marriage. :cry:

    Scored a nice set of seats! Frame and springs on both are in perfect condition based on my preliminary inspection. I will have them upholstered as soon as funds are available.:D

    Got a windshield made and installed at a local shop for very good price. It is looking better and better!(y)

    Unfortunately, not everything aligns!:n: I mounted the hood catch and it does not "catch"! It seems to be too low. I have the cowl seal installed and the windshield clamped down. I don't think it can lean back any more. What can I do?

    For one thing, the Footman loop looks too short. The original is quite tall. Here it is on my clunker:

    Also, looking at mine, the release lever points down not up.

    Found a picture. This was using a shorter loop like yours that was adjusted a little taller. I've since swapped an original loop on:
