Everybody's a comedian
I haven't made an update in a while, so I may as well leave a little blurb here now. Big thanks to LTb1ow for coming through with a trans cross-member and, as an added bonus, a Walboro 255 pump to throw in the tank while the tank is already out.
The driver's seat had a tear in it, and was re-upholstered and look fantastic. no more bolster tears here!
Brain @ BLS took my old filler panel and polished it up. It now looks beautiful. I'm almost afraid to put it on the car. Thank you, Brian!
I picked up another stock ported throttle body. However, this one powder-coated black, to see how I like it versus my polished one.
As far as I can think, what's currently left is:
*Paint prep
*Find & order a rubber trans mount
*Route belt
*Attach AC Dryer
*Pedals
*Steering shaft & wheel
I really hope to fire her up soon. I never would have imagined I'd be so scarce of time, but I've had nearly no opportunities to work on the car. I don't think I have worked on it more than two days in the last 2-3 weeks, sadly. However, if fate permits, perhaps I can grease a few palms and get a couple of the North Jersey guys over here via empty promises of food & beverage. Having that presence of fellow car guys by your side is the recipe to making headway; I'm not sure if it''s motivation or guilt, but something always ends up getting done. Hey, who am I to break a system that works, right?
This weekend?
