Should start soon

I rebuilt the original 2 bbl and painted the manifold.  Too bad I forgot the bolts to bolt it down.  So I got it down off of the stands.  Should maybe have it home this week if I get more time.  Oh and guess what, I painted a coat of white.   

I do need some help of what I need to clip on the vinyl trim.  I have all the stainless trim for around the back window, and along where the bottom of the vinyl in the back would be, but I dont have any clips.  And I dont know what I need, either, or what it looks like.  Here are a few pics.   

Cant wait to roll out in it.

    I bet you can't wait to fire it up.    I got mine out of the garage tonight. He fired right. Too bad ,I had a little surprise. A puddle of brake fluid on the garage floor.

Yep, I cant wait to fire it up, Jackie.  Glad to hear you got yours going!   

I had it all ready to go this morning, forgot the key at home.   

Oh well, maybe tonight I can go for a cruise.

I took mine over to a friend's garage today. Very carefully . After I added brake fluid. So I'm having the wheel cylinders, brake shoes, brake lines, wheel bearings, front shocks and tie rod ends replaced.  I hope that's it for now.   Have fun tonight.

Well I didnt get it started that night.  Had a whole slew of problems.  Did get it to go today.  It still has a bad plug or something, has a terrible miss in one or two cylinders.  Got a second coat of paint on.  Doesnt look half bad, I really like the white!

your car is verry nice.

Thanks guys.  Wally, the top is so rough I really dont feel like going through all of that work.   

Mike, its definitely not Carlisle worthy.  The pictures make it look sooooo better than what it actually is.  Driver quality paint job at best.   

Two previous owners before me must have lived on a gravel road.  There are rock chips everywhere on the sides.   

A little tinkering and it should run nice.
