Hi Listers!

Looking for who has a couple of needed items and have a few questions.  I 
know The Collective List probably has the answers.

I'm looking for:

My son and I are right in the middle of reviving a roadster (68 2000 - with 
one keeper and one donor) for his high school senior project and these are 
some needed items.  We're having a blast and he's learning a lot.  Reworked 
carbs are on order thru Keith and the electronic ignition - that is next 
too.  We're finally to the point where we are beginning to think about 
assembly instead of dis-assembly.  Currently the stripped vehicle is in 
being 'blasted'.  All chrome is in being rechromed too.  Stopped by to see 
progress with blasting and was pleased.  Goal is to put another daily driver 
on the road by May.  We'll have two in the family - his and mine.  The 
roadster is still the cheapest car I own.

Today was a great roadster day in the NW (Seattle area).  Roadsters love the 
cold. And it was crystal clear too.  Can't beat the NW on a day like today.

Thanks a bunch.
Sincerely
