Must have been distracted by the season so have missed this thread until just now. What a wonderful car. I wouldn't change anything except, as you are doing, chase down the missing bits. Jeff please keep posting and let us know what you discover e.g. is that hood original? The stitching in mine is rotten enough to be original and I am planning to take it to someone for repairs. Can't bear to part with it. And what goes in those clips? Also, do the documents tell you whether the ash frame is original? Cheers and thanks.
