    Good morning CT.

    Stopping by the local hardware store for some fender washers for inside of the case.
    Yes. Amazon has them, but I only need 4, not 100.

    After that I'll be wiring the remote start. I made sure to have everything here so I didn't have to drive to work.

    It looks like these traction boards will fit with how far apart my bed bars are. I may have to add a couple DIY brackets.

    Just looked online, the hardware store by my house doesn't open until Monday so it looks like a ride to Home Depot is in order.

    Time to fire up the Nova and hit the Downtown Thomaston show today.
    Should be a good one.
    Haven't had the car out in nearly a month. :burnrubber:

    Just added fender washers and replaced the Nylock nuts with flange nuts and blue Loctite.

    Also put Loctite on the bolt for the chase light.

    Plate on the back of a minivan in my parking lot at the house. He has the actual plate on the carrier for the mobility scooter.

    Driving around yesterday there was a small car/motorcycle show at this grass lot on Route 80 in North Branford. There was a large motorcycle show/gathering at Brother's Harley Davidson in Branford. I did not stop at either. I wasn't aware they were even happening.
