After roughly 40 months at Denny Finn’s Auto Restoration in Woodburn, Oregon, 2511 was delivered back home last Saturday, June 15.

 I have elected to do the reassembly in my garage over the coming months, at times by myself and at times with fellow owners who have offered to assist.

 I am very pleased with the quality of the paint, gaps and panel alignment. The final installation of the Wilkinson glue-in windshield greatly exceeded my expectations. A dry fit many months ago did not seem to offer up much potential for good results, but Denny  and his chosen glass installer subcontractor spent six hours trial-shimming the windshield before final installation with awesome results. 

As the photos show there is little installed on the car other than suspension, steering and wire harnesses.  There is a lot of work ahead of me but I’ve decided to let the task take its own course with expectations of finishing it sometime this winter or early spring at the latest.

 I will try to post photos regularly throughout the process, and will likely have some assembly questions for those that have been there before me.

Did I mention......... 2511 IS HOME ‼️‼️
