Just wanted to let you know I am still working on the Barn find boxed MGTD project.  My son and I had been working on it but mu son got the itch to travel out west for a few weeks.  He did that, came back, began dating got engaged and got married (3/18/20 all within a 7 month period.  So things have been on hold for a bit and now I am mostly the one working on it,  The biggest step in getting back into the build, as I am at the point where engine disassemble and a possible rebuild is going to be happening.  I have a source of up to 3 other engines directly on my street that I could purchase but like the current one, I don’t know how much work will be involved.  I just need to get motivated to finish this great build project.  Any encouragement would be helpful.  My son and I really want to finish this replica, drive it for a short bit then find the perfect person wanting one.  this possibly could be the last original FiberFab replica kit left in existence. so we want to finish it to the best of our abilities.

Thanks for listening to me jabber on.

Are there any suggestions out there on the best way to place and pushdown on the window with the black rubber bottom pad so the rubber will flatten out and the window can be bolted to the body.  The rubber is really stiff and I have thought about just using a flat 1″ x 3/16″ rubber weather strip under the window bottom frame.    Also, any information on putting the engine cover and the engine / rear surround on?  Where is the best place to bolt the bottom engine surround to the fender or body?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
