words of wisdom

Love the car, love the dog... iso more progress.

Very nice job so far.
makes me want to do some work on my 66 f-100

Its a newerish breed that comes from Staffordshire terriors and American pit bulls. They're called American bullies. And yep he's pure(or as pure as a mixed breed can be)- came with a pedigree family history etc
but really I bought him cause I just liked the way his parents looked and they were super great dogs!

Thanks for the compliments guys haha

Ordered 4 Sumitomo High Performance HTR Z Tire - 245/45-17 that should be here next Tuesday.

all I have to do to it yet is weatherstripping/body gaskets and find/buy an air cleaner.
I think when I redo all of my weather stripping and gaskets I'm gonna spray paint it. God I feel bad just thinking about it. It deserves real paint :'(
oh and I have to register/insure the damn thing haha. I need more money.

Are those HTR Z's summer tires or all season? I have some Sumitomo HTR Z III's or something like that and they have killer grip.

yeah they're summer tires and yeah I've read some pretty positive things about them. Can't wait to be able to try them out haha


Got the interior all put back together today. New carpet is on wish list.


The shifter feels great compared to that dinky one. I gotta find a new Chrome (maybe a black one) trim piece for the shifter boot.


Edit; Also bought a carburetor rebuild kit today. It's having major issues atm... won't idle at all. Hopefully this fixes that problem.

Also tore apart my carburetor today. Letting it soak overnight and gonna reassemble tomorrow.

looks great man keep on going !

btw. awesome dog ^^

Just a little update;

Put the carburetor back together and added a fuel filter. Its still not idling correctly so my dad is investigating.

Ordered an air cleaner, some random bits and pieces. Will be ordering weather-stripping/gaskets this weekend and then disassemble and a cheap paint job.

That's all I intend to do before I license and insure it! And start using it as a daily for the summer!
