What about the car?
All of this talk about new trucks and tricked out trailers, but what about the diamond that sits in the middle?
She is coming along. Pictured above are numerous pictures of the journey. New engine, new HS6 carbs, new Mallory Unilite distributor, new wiring, new wheel studs, new, new, new, or cleaned, cleaned and painted.
The motor is in, the carbs are on and the exhaust is hung. The brake system is done including the re-routing of the rear brake line through the cockpit - along with the main battery line and fuel line. This is done to protect these lines. If they remained under the car they could get ripped off if I went off the track.
The wiring is done and bundled and the battery has been moved to the passenger side. The front steering needs to be finished along with running the fuel lines through the pressure regulator to the carbs. The brakes and clutch need to be bled and pressure built up. The oiling system needs to be connected and the cooling system installed. Probably 10 other things I looked past - my notes are downstairs.
Oh yeah, and it needs to start and run on its own. All by the first of September. Throw in a family vacation and weekend trips to my parents house and I am running behind.
I'll be down there tomorrow busily working ...
