What I have done to my 1916 coupelet since I bought it.

I bought the car on June 16. Since then I have washed many years of dust off it, buffed the trunk lid and passenger rear fender, polished most of the brass, changed the engine oil, turned all the grease cups down and refilled them, oiled all the oilers and other spots that needed a bit of lube, made the inside of the turtledeck look better by sanding and painting the wooden floor and metal shield over the rear spring. put on side, rear and floor panels covered with black wool mohair, installed a battery in the turtledeck to run the stoplight, installed the carburetor adjust rod and a light switch and brake switch, put a tail/stop light bulb in the rear kerosene taillight and wired them up, along with the headlights, tightened the front wheel bearings and greased them well, replaced the very worn pitman arm with a new one and put a shim in the tie rod end, virtually eliminating any slop in the steering.
Today I will buff the other 3 fenders and the cowl to make them look much better, and polish some more brass.
