Depends on the cop, probably.
Anyone can scan them and get a (temporary) link to the deets and photos if you can get your phone close enough to the tag.

Nope, still got it. Know anybody crazy enough?

Would a normal electrical wholesaler have this sort of thing, and be able to crimp a lug on the end?

Do I see this on trademe? @Nominal
Yep, know anyone who is keen? I really need one less project, and there is a better chance of selling this than a 1/2 done Morris Minor.

I eventually unpacked the whole lot because I didn't want to risk the masking tape becoming permanently stuck to the wood.
A quick test-fit of one of the rear pieces but for now the wood is all back in the crates to protect it from the sun and damage while I work (or not) on the body issues.
It's seriously nice stuff from Rick though.

The crates left LA on 7 September 2020, but didn't arrive in Auckland until 30 September, then down to Wellington by mid-October where I had to pay the shipping and taxes (ouch)
Just managed to squeeze them into the Poojero for the trip home.
They were very well packed. The smallest crate was assorted parts the middle one had the door pieces, even signed

Where can I get a decent set of jumper leads? Ones with actual bolted on clamps, not shitty pressed/crimped supercheat style.
Ordered some of these Projecta 1000A clamps. Kind of spendy but seem grunty enough.
Now to get some cables.

I've been running a Petronix ignitor in my 390 for years, saves a lot of messing around with points.

As noted above, the frames were laminated in the original ford design. This because there is a lot of curve in the pieces as the come up over the upper parts of the door 'skin'. If they were bandsawed out from a timber blank then the grain would weaken the structure. Rick doesn't use a microwave bonding but laminates the wood strips into forms using a press.
Pic below is Rick's personal woodie.
End result of the visit was an order for a full wood set.
:
It was a long process, we confirmed the order in September 2019. The framing is maple and the insert plywood is mahogany veneer. Also included a full set of the interior panels also in mahogany ply.
These pics are from April 2020 which was of course Covid Time.
I'd also bought a few necessary parts from Rick, and others from Tom Fritz (https://www.ccrod.com/home.htm). Got some new repro sill plates from https://cgfordparts.com/. These parts were all shipped to Rick in Tacoma who crated them up for me along with the wood parts.
I arranged the shipping with Mainfreight / Kiwi Shipping including the Tacoma WA to Garden CA leg. They left Tacoma on 22 July 2020.

I like to use old seatbelts for engine lifting. Fixed ones are better as they have bolt eyes at each end.
Haven't broken one yet.

They only thing worse would be if you got one that Malcolm had owned before you.

Please delete.
Trashing mitsi's is fair game anywhere surely?

I'd never had a car that broke down 1km from home and had to be flat-towed back by the AA man until I owned a mitsubishi.
