Where did you get the air cleaners? Grace and Company. Makes his own parts. He’s on Instagram @graceandcoparts
I know I’m jumping around quite a bit. Started on a budget tonneau cover this morning made from some remnant painters tarps I found in my tool...
I appreciate the feedback.. its why I’m posting. I’m always learning!
Good advice, thank you. Ya, definitely changing that now. To what what cut outs are you referring? Nice engine compartment. I dig the bent...
Thanks! I’ll stop by
Thats what my friend said yesterday! I’ll be switching to the stock 32 type clamp and relocate the line to the dimple in the firewall.
[ATTACH] And finished the fuel line as well..
I think I finally wrapped up the rest of the wiring, ignition and charging. It looks like a spaghetti mess under the tunnel but it was a lot of...
[ATTACH] I cleaned up a beat trim piece and installed the gauge panel. I found a used repop “choke” knob for $10 bucks and patina painted it...
Very helpful info. Thank you. I’m not interested in re-painting the entire wheel after the repair, but I did like the super glue and baking...
Agree. Thanks
Fixed! (Not really). I must agree that there is plenty else on the to-do list and I am enjoying the original hand-worn surface as is.. so I...
..After some (many hours of) elbow grease and polish compound. I can’t do much about the cracks and I can’t bring myself to recast the original...
Found an early Zephyr wheel. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
...oh, we shall see.

Battery shut-off/starter relay/starter switch installed under seat. [ATTACH] Added some brake line hangers. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] And started on the...
It looks like the fuel tank needs more attention than I thought. The underside was rusted through. [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] Pulled more metal off the car today. The fuel tank needs attention, and I’m in search for a spreader bar without the spare tire mount.
I also remedied a clearance issue with the front wishbone touching the starter plate at the bell housing. I’m using a late truck oil pan and...
Sure enough! The belt did not clear the mounts. I removed a substantial amount of material this morning to correct the issue. [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] Still not entirely confident on my ratios and clearance, I left the extension a bit longer with a second hole.
I welded a sufficiently long arm to the bottom of the brake arm as I didn’t know what length I would need. Turns out it was way longer than...
Back to the brake pedal assembly: I needed to start mapping out the location of my new dual reservoir master cylinder. I sourced a drum/drum...
[ATTACH] Ok Never mind. I guess the trick is to use a small screwdriver, and then a bigger screwdriver, and then a small one again, and then a...
[ATTACH] Pulled the drums off the rear again to install the e-brake cable. But it looks like the last cable was jammed up inside the guide tube....
Good point. I’m going to study the rotation
Stayed up late to install the motor. [ATTACH]
Neither am I, so I’m always open to advice. That gear does not slide into position and the material is missing at the center, so I’m hoping I’ll...
