A Good Weekend!
 |
| Sat. morning. Jerry & I lowering the Boom! |
 |
| It was a "tight" fit. |

| We literally moved it an inch at a time... |
 |
| Dam, I love those tires! |
 |
| Late Sunday - motor is in, tranny linkage is all hooked up, AFB carb is on, heater hoses connected, alternator mounted, clutch rod on. No fluids yet, but close... |

Misc. details...
 |
| Got the radiator painted |
 |
| I bought a 'temporary' intake manifold for my motor...to keep the mice out, while my F.I. unit if off being restored |
 |
| The front ignition shields and fuel lines came today. Tomorrow, that 300hp motor goes back in the car! |
Windshield washers
 |
| The area under the wiper vent/grills was a mess |
 |
| The car had no washer spray nozzles or tubing |
 |
| Looked like someone had used a spray foam insulation? Not sure I wanna know! |
 |
| Added nozzles & tubing |
 |
| Re-shot the grill vent holes |
 |
| Wiper arms on - ready for testing! |

Old Skool...
 |
| Goin' w/the old school race tire look |
 |
| Shhhh... |
 |
| It's the only way to get big raised white letters on modern radials. Took a lot longer than they insinuate on YouTube! Worth it tho! |
