Mike,
Avoid the question by putting the rear wheels on the trailer and locking 
the front steering wheels in a straight ahead position. (Tying the 
steering wheel.)

Well.  The buyer certainly wasn't after originality.You don't do "upgrades"
during a restoration. It's a mechanical and cosmetic rebuild.I suppose you
could look at it like it would cost more than that to do it to a Bugeye
yourself, especially a checkbook mechanic. My 2 cents, don't mean much.
It's not my money.

Holy Moley. Not a low mileage original car. Not restored to OEM spec. Not owned by anyone famous. Not glitzed out with gold trim and a small block Chevy. The mind, it boggles.

Subject: [Spridgets] Quarter light types and weights - the whole assembly
Message-ID: <CAMhoh1XUZTBNZutcWz0QNQVbSQP5NyHDd01K37ZxGx8QoLCBJg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi List,

I know on the wind-up window cars the later quarter light assemblies were
made from Stainless Steel and the earlier ones were Chrome.  I am
interested to know if the chrome ones were always chrome on brass or if
some were chrome on steel.

Also I am interested to know if there is a weight difference between the
chromed and the stainless steel and what the actual weights are.  This is
the weight of the whole assembly the bit that sticks down into the door
complete with the quarterlight, glass and catch etc (and with or without
the felt runner.

Many thanks

Daniel

Message-ID: <387615551.1055239.1706473221557@myemail.cox.net>

Dear Daniel,
I have 1 (one) set that is chrome-plated steel, but 
unfortunately I am unable to weigh them as they are 
still fitted to a late '66. 
I do know they are original as I got the car nearly new 
from the original owner in '69. 

I have 4 other sets that are non-magnetic, but I cannot 
really tell plated brass from stainless. They range from 
early '64 to late '67. 

They are loose and can be weighed if I knew what I was 
weighing. 

I CAN tell you that my aluminum doors are lighter than the 
steel ones. 

W David Doiron 

PS: The 1425 crank arrived and it is gorgeous, polished and 
counter-weighted!
