Stop in for a cup of coffee

So, this is Monday ... I'm planning on starting 'work' on Wednesday, haven't confirmed that with my 'boss' yet. He starts today. The pupils show up next Monday and this Friday is teacher's conference day which I don't plan on attending - can't, even since we're going to Norway for my wife's company's 10 year anniversary.

So these are the last trembling hours of my summer holiday which started on June 16, IIRC. I kinda like this setup. :)

Once I drop off the little one at school, I plan on getting the calipers installed - with the brake hose bracket in place this time - and maybe bend a brake hose or two.

All that's left before I can go for a test drive then is:
- Steering column (it's just laying there on the floor of the car)
- Some kind of roadkill-style gas tank
- Brake piston pushrod
- Gas pedal and cable (I've got a newer style 'hanging' one that I want to try)
- Maybe a temp gauge?
- Bonus: Kick-down cable (Not likely, don't have much stuff to fab a bracket)

When I was under the car installing the brake distribution block, I noticed it has the driver's side muffler mounted. Seems I only disconnected the other one for some reason. Must have been when I took the pass. side head off for compression measurement. I think I'll remove that. I don't have anything to hold it up so I might as well run open manifolds.

More fun, too. :)

If fortue shines upon me, I could actually run the thing today! More likely tomorrow, though. Or - more likely - in October ...
