Lumlo Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Well it took just 35 days, mostly waiting on parts, to get this little '78 road worthy. A quick rinse of the windows and coat of wax makes her proud. I'll spend weeks tweaking bits here and there, but I think she just might be ready for the 100 mile trek up North to Canby. 3 Quote Link to comment

I kinda hated to put the weber carb and header on, but with the automatic and a fairly worn original carb, I was afraid of getting run over in the slow lane. Love the disc brakes on the '78 but the efforts to control emissions in the late 70's put a terrible drag on the performance. Will replace the white spokes with stock rims and go with standard tires size. Also trying to preserve the engine compartment look the best I can, so I'm working on an air cleaner adapter plate for the 2 barrel. Quote Link to comment

The only blemish of note is a scrape along the lower passenger side bed. I am amazed at the condition. Quote Link to comment
