During the course of the primary work, it was also found that:

• The engine having been removed at some time had been installed off center – the engine was centered in the chassis
• The air cleaner oil reservoir had a pin hole leak and the muffler section had holes – the holes were welded closed and the assembly properly painted
• The plastic convertible window was badly discolored limiting rear vision – the plastic window was polished to like new clarity.
