Some New Parts

Thanks to all of your suggestions I have decided to name her the Blue Goose.

I received some parts which I am working on installing. First I installed a wing nut which helps to support the air filter. One was missing. Unfortunately it did not come with a soft, rubberish washer which the others had.

The other parts were rubber seals which go between the windshield frame and the cowling, and between the windshield and the windshield frame. I am working on the first one now. The frame needs to be cleaned up a bit.

Seat Belts Are Installed & Summer (Parade) Top Is On

I installed the seat belts yesterday, as well as removing the vinyl top that had plastic windows and doors. It was too confining and the plastic was too difficult to see through clearly. I replaced the vinyl top with a Summer or Parade top. It is made of cloth and open on the sides. I don't like the tubing that holds it up but it will do for now.

I fixed the left front directional signal lamp. It wasn't working but just needed fiddling with because I didn't do anything to fix it; just took it apart and put it back together.

I discovered why the hood sags in the middle. Someone may have stepped on it and broke the supports back by the hinge.
