Started with the engine compartment today. Some paint stripper, a couple scrapers, a drill, some wire wheels, sandpaper and some rattle can red oxide primer....

OH... and a little buzz from the fumes..

Awsome sheet metal! We dont have that much of that up here in minnesota. Keep it and more pics coming. Great work!

 

[GlennB4u]

Got some sandblasting done and the engine compartment in primer. Hopefully get it painted soon.

Looks good.Are you going to fix the damage to the passenger side shock tower and lower radiator support before paint?

 

[GlennB4u]

I fixed a little of the damage.. and got it painted this weekend. Still need to paint the k-member, master cylinder and steering...but it's getting there..

Looks nice and clean, second the other comment about not finding such up here in the great white north! Keep up the good work and nice pictures.

:burnout: That is good news!

Fabricated a stout brace for the z-bar support. Made out of a couple pieces of angle iron and a chunk of steel. Works like a charm.

Things are closer. Having an issue with idle. Can't get it to idle under 1200 RPM. Also, can't ever seem to open the choke 100%. I'm going to replace the carb spacer as it's probably as old as I am... Still runs a little rich, but it runs good when it runs.

Sure-grip works...

 

[GlennB4u]

Little more progress...

 

[4spdragtop]

Good to see you post again! Sounds awesome, congrats!

 

[GlennB4u]

Decided to get it on the road so I can drive it before I die....

Started bolting on parts necessary to get it inspected, so I'll be driving it even if it won't be in final paint or a finished interior.

THAT looks cool as is!

Just needs a windshield and reverse lights installed. Any hints on the best way to install a windshield? Where to buy the best/correct gasket/seal?
