Maybe it won't seam so loud when you pull it out of the garage? Then again, it a HEMI, forget that last thought. Gene

Thanks Gene,
It has been a long time for sure. Couldn't hardly sleep last night, and that was after I was up til 1:00 trying to figure out You Tube uploading !

I want try and quiet it down some, but my girl says no! I don't know what it sounds like outside yet. Maybe I can make some changes and she won't notice it's a little quieter!
Thanks,

That's awesome Mark! I'm looking forward to doing that myself sometime this summer. So, you're almost done. What's your next project?

---

Hey Arno!
I highly recommend doing it sooner rather than later! I have a pretty good ways to go on Ole Henry with the paint work and a little interior stuff. The big guy in the door way in the video owns the business next door to mine. It is an Upholstery Shop!
He is always ready to lend a hand when needed. I need to pick out some fabric, and he will cover the seats and door panels.
Actually I do have one more project to do, and that is the old road runner that was my mother's car. (68)
Post some more pictures of your coupe when you can.
Thanks,
Mark

Sorry Mark,
You won't see any pics from me for awhile. The 34 is on the back burner. I had to get started on a bit of a house remodel. I hope to get back on the car mid to late May.

Arno,
I sure do know what you mean there.I am going to have to do some home repair here!
I am looking forward to your next move on the coupe.
Good luck with the remodeling.

Mark

wow mark ! what a great day for ya ! been laid up for a few days, so i just got to view your "super bowl sunday"! can't wait to see the maiden voyage

Eric, I hope that you are OK, and nothing serious going on with you. Got to take of yourself first.
I really did have a good day Eric. I was real lucky too. The carburetor is right off the bench from being upgraded to 1050 cfm from 950 cfm. It will need some more work, but I was happy with the results. The guesstimate on timing got me within 4*, so it fired up pretty well, and surprised me!
I worked on it today,to set the timing, replaced a burned up solenoid,(was staying engaged) and working on a fuel pump issue too. (it won't self prime).
At the end of the day I pulled it forward to check the brakes, and then backed it into The Shop to park it! It actually was moving under it's own power! Another first in the last 30+ years!

I do hope you are doing Ok !?

i think i FINALLY turned the corner on this last issue [ i hope ]. i was down most of last week and really just started feeling somewhat normal today. i haven't been in the shop in weeks. the biggest problem is the deal that when i get sick, i have to stop my everyday meds to take new ones to take care of whatever bug i get, then it screws up everything. i "think" i can get back on my regular stuff tomarrow. if i can recover enough by saturday, i hope to be able go to the canfeild swap with my buddy. it is suposed to be warm [yea !] and it will be good to be able to get out & about ! i read your post about you having to stabilize your doors a bit. any pics of what you did to fix that ? respond in the "progress" thread to keep it all in one place.

Well, it has been thirty years since the Ole Allstate had a voice!! I may have to rethink the exhaust silencers!
What you guys think?
I can't believe I shut the door so hard!
