Stop in for a cup of coffee

Morning all. Trying to keep my head down and keep at it here. Think I am getting channel fever. Not liking the 3 weeks on of the 3/3 schedule. 13 days and 53 subs to go.
 
Good Morning All! Stephen you work some tough shifts, hang in there! What will you be working on after the end of this one?
 
This old man is up and at it this morning, getting loaded up and heading to our booth to sell a few things
Have to get out there at 5:45 this morning.
Moved tables and just a few things yesterday evening.

Pictures after I get set up this morning.
Cheers coffee crew

Morning to college football Saturday!!
Spent most of yesterday putting a new dash wiring harness in the Barracuda. It’s going well got it hooked up and the dash back in just need a couple hours to finish it up. The old one still looks good might take it to Carlisle and see what it might be worth.

Swap out headlight switch and brake light switch/master cylinder pushrod, install exhaust, install mechanical fuel pump and carb lines, 1 drive shaft u bolt and test it.
 
I have a few more things as well but plan to let a shop bend the exhaust and install on Friday the 23rd.
 
Are you doing a conversion from electric fuel pump to mechanical or is old one just shot? You mentioned lines so I'm guessing conversion.
 
Nice work!
Thanks...working on it yesterday I promised myself this should be the LAST time I pull the dash out.
I should have pulled the steering wheel but didn't feel like wasting an hour going to the auto parts store to borrow the puller and then take it back another hour.
The smile part was to hook it all back up and test everything working before buttoning it up.
Need a couple new flashers for the turn signals no big deal. One is bad just going to replace both.
 
That said I have an extra set of experienced hands to help on the 22nd so it should go good.
 
driving from eastern Oklahoma to possibly Walnut Ridge on the 28th of Sept. and Johns neck of the woods on the 4th of Oct
All the other stops car stuff or vacation. You might have told us, and I missed it.

Mechanical pump is shot so replace and install new NHRA compliant fuel line to the pump from the steel line to the pump and pump to the filter to the carb.
