How is the Burb coming along??

Billy,
4-5-6 is the place I contacted last fall. The responses that I got to my email (and the horror stories I've read about his customer service) caused me to move on.
These look like they would be about right, do you agree?

The 'burb is coming along great! Last fall I was able to replace the front turn signal lenses and harness, getting the front turn signals working again. I took the instrument cluster out and cleaned all the light contacts, which got the panel lights working. I built an original turn signal under-dash harness to eliminate the after-market unit, and replaced all the turn signal pieces in the column that were missing, and got the horn working while I was in there.
I had a Stromberg WW restored by a carb place (the butterflies were frozen shut, which put it past my comfort zone), and I cleaned and repainted the oil bath cleaner for it. Right now I'm sourcing the fuel line bits to get all that back together. I was also able to find a replacement fuel level sender, which I believe will fix the fuel gauge.
The wipers are back to original, I've got original fabric samples on hand for the re-upholstery, and I've got the gaskets and everything I'm going to need to get the back windows working again. I had a period GMC radio which I'm sending out to be converted to a modern bluetooth capable unit.
So all in all things are moving along, although more slowly than I'd hoped. I still feel like I'll have the major things tackled in time to get it to paint this summer.
