Haven't touched this project in too long ...

Carbs were rebuilt 8 years ago but haven't been reinstalled.
Calipers were pulled to rebuild, just never got around to it.
I have some of the OE hardware from removal of the bodywork.
Kicked it over when I first acquired it and she ran, but obviously that was years ago.

Hello,
where are you ? I'm in Rockville Silver Spring area
 
what about that poor old lady who ran the boarding house ?
I guess they couldn't spare her since she was living with plotters
and I guess she probably knew about the plan.

Well, we sure have gone down the rabbit hole. See what I started? All of the information about the trial is readily available. Books have been written about it and documentaries made. Uh, she wasn't a poor old lady. At age 42, she had the honor of being the first woman executed by the U.S federal government.

I found a paperback some years ago titled "I rode with Jackson" or some such. In it, Stanton, who was secretary of war, said that Surratt haunted him, whether that was the whole chapter of the event or the spirit of Mary is left up to the reader. ''Twas a great read.
 
This is the strangest thread hijack I've ever seen, and been on the interwebs since the beginning, so that's saying something.

To answer @joebdg, DC/MD is indeed the Washington DC/Maryland area, specifically a town called Waldorf.
Rabbitholes happen. Still the best forum I've seen.
 
You wouldn't happen to have the chrome trim piece that fits between the rear turn signal stalk and the rubber mounting would you? There would be two of them, one for each side.
