- Had chris foley work on my car. He did some rust repair (engine shelf and driver's door catch), rewelded my clutch tube, put in stainless fuel lines.
- put on new PMB rear calipers (no more leak!)
- changed my soft lines over from the SS braided ones
- fresh brake fluid (of course)
- touched up my undercoating
- reinstalled my heat parts, including the blower
- Lubed all my hinges, realigned my trunk, and a bunch of other small stuff
- gave her a bath inside and out

My to-do list is finally shrinking. Car is back on the road and running great! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

My do-do list:
Fix my carbs so that they idle nicer then they currently do. I think it is linkage related. The fix may be moving to a bell crank linkage or getting Jakes cable system when it is online.

Put a quieter muffler on. I have the muffler, I am waiting for the weather to get out of nice driving weather before I change it though.

Fix the stupid header collector leak. Flange it. Seems like the only solution.

Make a way to quiet down my carb intake.

All my projects right now - save the weird idle - are all creature comforts.

To do:

-Continue to strip car getting it prepped for a trip to Ct.

- Turn car over to Chris Foley at CFR to cure rust issues and add some wicked cool signature flares (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

- Start tearing drive train down and getting everything cleaned and ready

- stock pile parts from group buys

- live vicarously through other peoples builds and dream

- debate on engine displacement (stupid budget)

And all this happens over the next 12 months
