Lay down Sally...
Well it’s been awhile so update time. It’s going to be a bit picture heavy. So the car went to the shop and basically it went down hill from there. Ended up need to replace both front rails....fully. Someone tried to fix it at one point and basically made it worse then bondoed over it. So it took a little while to track down some front rails that were worth paying for, no one makes new ones yet so that really sucked. The shop is new getting the front all fixed up now, going to miss most the season for driving her but at least she will be safe, right?
While waiting for the car, I slapped a Hughes cam in the engine and a double roller timing chain also a Kevko oil pan. Repainted it to corporate blue, cause I like color a bit better. Got new headlights and relay kit to convert it to LED. Denso alternator. Steering coupler. Speedo cable. Etc etc. but finally getting all the parts in to start to make the car good again.
Hopefully she comes home soon.
