Andy...you jackass....
My lips are super chapped, and when I read the cut/don't cut, I smiled and now I'm bleeding. Thanks man.

I'm curious though...Those corner ambers.... They kind of stick out in that pic. You planning anything special with them?

hahaha!

There is always the option to shave them. Which I have considered. I usually prefer shaved marker lights, but for some reason on this car I like the stock markers.

When lit up, the car looks neat.

For now, they stay.

Got the tires mounted today at lunch. And here's what I did to tease myself when I got home a few minutes ago.






Fenders still aren't cut....Still no compressor. Oh woe is me. But, I'll figure something out.

Regardless, the car is going to look gooood on the ground.

Nice finally seeing it starting to come back together. Can't believe the thread has been up for that long lol

Hahaha, parts of it are about to start coming apart again.

I'll be building coilovers, and doing some rear brake modifications once tax return stuff rolls in.

Whoda thunk that it would take me this long to shave my manifold?

Well today was a good day.

Air compressor is once again up and running. SO relieved, I really missed my air tools.




Especially my cut off wheel! I finally chopped the driver's fender tonight.

Installed with fender welting. Finally looking legitimate. No more fender lips peeking out from under there.







Tomorrow I'll follow up with more after work.

How did the thermostat housing work out? Did it hold fluid okay? Figured you'd be eager to find that out.

Yep! Look in the first picture of my second picture post. If you look closely you can see the thermostat housing bolted to the motor, hiding behind the distributor.

And you'll have noticed by then that the motor is put back together.


And the fluid is staying on the INSIDE this time.


And I set the timing.


And my tune is ready.




So what does all this mean?!?!!?



Tomorrow......or the next day.....I try to start the car.


I wasn't going to say anything initially just incase it DIDN'T fire...But guess the cat's out of the bag now.
