The wiring harness's will be repaired and reused.  Below I had to make my own spring compressor from a piece 5/8 running thread and a heavy metal plate to remove the coil springs. The ...

March 2015 found us at the Good Guys show in Scottsdale AZ. with the Kaiser.  Friday we parked the car at a lower level than the tent (in the back ground) in the polo field then on Saturday parked in the Builders Choice award area in front of the tent.  Karen enjoyed the nice weather and sat with her car answering a lot of questions, the most common what kind of car is that or is that a stock color.  Lee Abrahams brought his 3 Kaiser Darrin's from Tucson AZ  This very nice red Pontiac roadster was parked next to us and won an award.  This 55 Chevy drag car with a 500 CI alcohol engine was with the Kaiser's from Tucson very loud  with a ton of HP.  If your interested in a all original 1926 Nash this one was for sale in the swap meet area for $15,000.00 Did win any thing but had a good time with nice weather and met a lot of nice people.
