of course something else is always waiting!
In reference to the previous post, I also built a dash panel, replaced every
switch in it, and the temp gauge. Installed primer pump. Replaced both
mirrors. Contoured and built up drivers seat to fit my fat a$$. Replaced
bent jack shaft. Overhauled both clutches. Replaced both belts. Overhauled
both carbs. Rebuilt top end of engine 4 times. Rebuilt bottom end of engine
once. Overhauled rear springs which were seized up, replacing bushings and
rubber in canisters. Straightened and repaired discrepancies in chassis.
Repaired brake system including improperly installed brake line and new
pads.
That just about covers it, although I'm sure I missed a few things.
Still to do: Check out wobble in rear axle. Bent? Build dead pedal. Gusset
frame near engine mounts. Build fasteners for drive belt guard. Create a
more aesthetic filler neck for cooling system. Create new pistons for rear
spring canisters. Exhaust work to quiet engine down. Reconfigure fueling
system. Build more aesthetic body panels for rear of car.
I guess I should have just jacked up the rad cap and put a new car under it,
(actually I still have the same rad cap (ha ha)). Even though it's been a
ton of work, generally I've enjoyed the project and I've learned an awful
lot about the car in the process. 8-)
