Gears and rebuild kit turned up last yesterday.
They can go into the cupboard with the spool till I have everything here.

Will order new axles in a week or two when the wallet recovers.

Order some new guard spears...  These ones have a light in them...and are the only ones that I could find.
57 Pontiac stuff is pretty scarce.
US$300 a pair

And a new front emblem thingy that goes on the hood.

Also got other lenses for bumper bars and gaskets.


Still haven't got my rear bumper back yet.
I will call them during the week to see what is going on with it.


Just keep plugging away.
