Refurbishment Project
Dean Hickenlooper

Ever thought of taking on a refurbishment project? Well Dean Hickenlooper did. Following is a brief pictorial of the progress so far.

Sometimes the small stuff literally takes the most time. Take those pesky lift-a-dots. First of all, locating where to place them; second, is the material warm (stretchy enough) to get an accurate fit; three, applying enough pressure to get a secure mount through the fabric. I thought attaching the hood to the headliner was nerve-racking.

We’ll this was fun finishing up the lift-a-dots on the MGA Hood (top) they’re not installed at the factory. A little nerve racking Cutting them in !

Well, the Speedometer cable finally came and was installed. Not much more to do at this point.

Test Drive scheduled for Thursday !


I’ll be posting more on the restoration projects in next month's issue.

Until then, Let’s keep ‘em on the road!
