    It's came home yesterday. Ordered a Rebel harness for it from Glenn33. Painted the windshield stantions, oil filter and back of the master cylinder door. Now, it's time to put it all together.

    No prollem. The windshield will go on tonight, dash ***embled (with guages!) and fix a leaky wheel cylinder. The rest will have to wait for the wiring harness. Not alot of room in here.
     
  8. Looks like you paint is spot on!!!

    Let's see progress pics!!!!!!

    Fired it Sun. afternoon.....started right up. No oil, atf, coolant, etc. leaks. Gotta repair a leaky wheel cylinder, install the driveshaft, and tidy up a few wires and I'll be driving it. Hopefully Thurs morn it'll go to work with me.
     
  10. Cool! Can't wait to see it!!
    We put a new u-joint in Joe's car on the way home from Kirks house, he was trying to keep up with the coupe on 75 and had to shut-er down! :p

    This is really timely. Fuelpump has been worried about having no one to hang out with since getting his new street rod. Now you and he can cozy up and have a parking place all by yourselves.
    Tell Frankie that if she still wants to hang with the HOT RODDERS she is welcome to ride with me.:cool::)

    Finished routing the last of the wiring last night...fixed a small fuel leak and made a brake pedal. My headlights don't work...tailight, yes. Gotta finger that out. Other than those small obsticles, all I have left is windshield (frame in the paintshop) and fix a wheel cylinder. Eight days til Billetproof.

    Windshield done, interior done, battery hold down, done, brake pedal, done. All that's left is gas pedal and swap out that pesky wheel cylinder.
