Got the tub back on Friday, minus hoods. Body shop man apparently worked till 23:00 on Thursday to make sure I would have it for the weekend.
Weather has been awful, and this morning was the first time it stopped raining long enough to pull the car out of the garage. Attached image(s)

Note that I did have time yesterday (Saturday) to start assembly. I put the wiper motor in and got started on the fresh-air ventilation system. Attached image(s)

QUOTE(ken914 @ Jun 11 2006, 05:50 AM)  Looking great! Welcome to the flared 1970 /6 club! Now about that 2.2, wouldn't you rather have a 3.2 ... Actually, the engine that is going in is a high compression, twin plug, 8,000 rpm, short stroke 2.5. Built on a late 7R case. 40 mm PMO carbs. Should make between 225 and 250 hp, and be plenty of fun. Michel |
