Jeff & Bill's excellent adventure

NCC NCRS event @ Jeff's house.  His '63 Fuelie is just amazing!

New brakes front/rear...

It's brake replacement morning! 

Front brakes - BEFORE 

Wheel cylinders were shot 

New cylinders/new spring kit/new shoes 

New drum 

Rear drum - wow

Rear drum removed

Rear shoes were actually metallic and in ok shape 

Rears done

Houston, we have lift-off!

Fire it up!

TGIF

We got the core support back on the '64.
Added new shims (same thickness & same location as before)

Installed the new seatbelt.  I actually decided to stick w/the original seatbelt anchor bolts.  They just fit better.

Here's Jerry attaching the heat shields

Glovebox lightswitch wasn't working

New bulb, new wiring connection. 

Original '64 hood support: 16077

Hood support also has the "ATWOOD" stamp

Sandblasting...

These guys do pretty reasonable sandblasting for me

Radiator core support & shroud after blasting

Make-shift workbench

Straightened the existing staples...
Make it easier to add the lower fan shroud seal after paint

Shhhh...
Play structure paint booth.  : 0

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...

Clean

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!
