December 8, 2004: Yes, I should be working on something useful like the wipers or the tach.
But instead, I'm all excited about the wheels. They'll be black with polished lips when I'm done. First I have to strip off the existing paint and clean them up. Easy enough if I can leave work long enough to pick up some paint stripper. I figure I'll probably try polishing the lips by hand. Should be slow and messy. Once the wheels are done I can put on a set of good tires and stop using cast-offs and borrowed bits.

In terms of real work, I hope to put the wipers on this weekend. I'll make it easy to remove the motor because it's a heavy beast, but the rest will probably stay in place. I also need to get those LEDs...
