Make it purty...

(Pencil me in, in the obviously small group that seems to feel you can have a nice car AND drive it)...

I've put 20k on a nut and bolt resto...



I'll agree with that. I plan on making it really nice some day... And I will continue to drive and abuse it...

purty is over rated... make her safe to drive and have fun with it before you have to worry about scratching the shiney new paint.

That's still the first order of business. If you, or any of you, see me at the Nats, be sure and say hi.
Thanks, Matt.

It's getting closer as we speak! The front to rear fuel and brake lines are in. The pile of scrap parts is growing. Pics later.
I have to day I love working on this car! The only heat I've used is to cut off the exhaust... Shock bolts came loose witha 3/8 short breaker bar and a socket! I had to wire brush the undercoating(?) off the J-bolts for the tank straps. They are like new. That's $24 I've saved. Lol.

The growing scrap pile. I added the air shocks last night. I also got the left front apart to start the disk upgrade. The plan is to drive it to Michigan, so I opted for the added piece of mind of disk rather than rebuild the drums.

More progress. Last night was very frustrating because the simple fact is that I'm not as nimble as I used to be. One nut on the master cylinder was driving me crazy. So I took a break to install the disks. Also ran into some issues there. Front mounted calipers and the caliper bracket hits the sway bar tab. Rear mounted the caliper hits the shock. And the hose routing is a little suspect. I also really need to replace the front shocks. The front suspension wouldn't compress with a jack under it.
Anyway, still made progress. I'll put another coat of primer on the engine, and hit it with color in the next couple days.
Old master cylinder gone.

New spindle. Won't work thatway.

Engine primered. I know I missed some of the valve covers. They will get replaced.

More progress. Brakes are installed. Tonight I'll tighten, torque and bleed them. Lines are run. I need to flush the distribution block with some brake clean and reinstall it.
Engine is now orange. Another coat and I'll start installing accessories. Hopefully Friday night it will be ready to drop in.
Gas tank is in and needs tightened and rubber hose run, vent lines installed and I need to clean the filler neck real well and reinstall it.
It's getting there.

Yep, you'll be wheeling the neighborhood in no time.
Amazing how much your car looks like mine all the way down to the rust and crust.
Only difference when I got it was the ramcharger scoops were white.
