Nice work Bob, you did a great job. I especially like that you did not OVER restore the TC. You built a really nice runner. I have the same idea with my TC which is way behind yours. We are trying to get it back to fairly original in that we are painting it black as it left the factory. When we got it, all apart and in boxes it was OEW. All TCs through about number 5000 were black but most repaint then anything but. You rarely see that. You still have a few jobs to do like mending the speedometer. Omitting the bumpers is a good idea, and I don't really think they are TC bumpers anyway. The ones I have seen are flatter without the curls at the ends.
Believe it or not we spend a rather large sum to have the speedo redone. Might be a glitch in the cable. Thanks for watching. Next excursion is a lap on the main road.
A terrific milestone!
Nice to see it out in the sun
