Rustina 510 Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 It's cool, by the time you get here it will be one long job. I'll have the trunk pan ready, the fenders ready, the full floor pans ready, and who know what else I'll be gettig into. The trunk isn't all that bad compared to the floor pans so I'll have it done and ready by tomorrow, then ill be finishing the engine bay, then I'll mount my valance and fenders and really get to work on the body. I need a tac weld dent puller. Mine burnt out after only 4 years. Not bad for harber freight. Its coming together, one weekend at a time, I took my su carbs apart today and they look super clean inside, one of the needles are bent and one of the gaskets to the float is ripped, going to clean the shit out of the outside of them, going high gloss comp orange on the carb body and polished bowls as shiny as I can get these babies. All the hardware will be high gloss black "linkage too" Quote Link to comment

I admire the work you have down to your vehicle. You have come a long way. You are very capable in what you are doing. Great work and have fun, that is what is most important in this hobby! Sometimes you just have to sit back and go , Oh Yeah! I did that! Keep up the good work, Peace! Quote Link to comment
