I found a nifty place under the driver's seat for a
fuel filter. The frame hole was the perfect size and since the
tubing had to route through it anyway. Why not install the
filter. The filter is a NAPA # 3032
-
I installed the driver side fender. I used
washer spacers to separate the edges from the body. This
will avoid chipping the paint when I remove the fenders to install
the felting.

Permanently installed the muffler system.
-
Reinstalled the wheels and drove her out of the
garage. The car drove great and the brakes were perfect.
Much better then when I drove her in almost a year ago.
-
I had the engine running for just about an hour.
Gas tank, filter, and motor are getting along great. Took a
short drive on a back farm road. Never got out of second gear
but the car ran great. Engine temperature stayed at 160 and I
managed to stay on the milk crate. Actually pretty
comfortable.

- I started on the last of the mechanicals.
- Removed the drivers side front wheel assembly. This is the last
piece of frame that needs to be cleaned and painted.
- I will be refurbishing this area by installing new coil springs,
tie rod ends, brakes, and shocks.
- After this is completed I will be reassembling the front clip
and getting the body ready for paint. Ya!!!

Wow.., That was quick. If only it was that
easy. I had a couple of hours on Monday to play some
more. |
