I'll look for the products you mentioned Scott, but in the mean time, I grabbed a pair of frames today (no cracks and very little road wear).

I also installed the seat belt assemblies and now have a working supplemental restraint system. After installation, I made the connections and fired the girl up. The SRS light went out after about 10-15 seconds and stayed out.

I also grabbed a replacement headlight wiper motor. In my constant poking about the car I found the right motor was shot. Somehow the drive shaft got driven through the motor, came out the back of the motor and disengaged the gear internally.

I grabbed a R129 rim and went to the 560 I have been scavenging from, tried to fit the 8x16 ET34 rim, it was a no go. I had hoped they would fit, and I don't want to use spacers so I looked for the 560 rims. Spent quite a while digging through the tires, and checking out every car trying to find a set of rims for the 560. Took awhile, but I dug up a set.

That is all I accomplished today, now time for a shower.
