Damn, if I knew this thread existed, I would have shot a pic last month when flat bedded due to a shot starter. But with an old car, there is always a next time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

This is once I finished the build. Made sure it ran and then carted it down to a friends shop to have the carbs tuned by a master. Exterior wasn't buttoned up yet, but it's mostly there.

Well, it was my turn yesterday to take the "Ride of Shame". Hopefully it was 'only' the CV joint letting loose and nothing else major was damaged. Attached Image

If it hasn't been on a Flatbed it isn't being driven. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Oh, I am OK with it being on a flatbed, just was SORT of hoping that I got to drive it a bit more. Here is hoping it's just the CV joint that let loose and nothing worse.

I didn't want to take it down to So. Cal for Xmas anyway, right? Who needs to drive Palms to Pines or Mt. Palomar? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Engine is almost ready and my winter project will begin. Now I just need some time to work on it, which seems to be the biggest hurdle.

And spare half axles! Got a good look at it tonight, and the half shaft is off right at the tranny, and looks like it took out the starter too. Oh well, I can't take it with me, can I?

A little out of order in this thread...but on the flatbed being shipped ( "Before pic ") to Anacapa media blasting / Camarillo, CA. The '74 is pictured here in light ivory, but not an LE CanAm.
It's been recently re-born in #908 GP white Attached Image

Jim I see the water tower house in the background! We could have pushed your car home. Better yet called Hector at PCH garage 1/2 mile away! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I towed it home and replaced the cable. BTW, the cable broke right behind the ball cup. It was only 3 years old too ! Good news is I won’thave To worry about it on the Rt 66 drive...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I once saw a member ,( #8), here break the ACC cable on the drive up Mulholland in th the SM mountains; he stopped to pull the cable out from the tunnel, routed it around the passenger side and through the window. Then attached a pair of vice grips to the end of the cable and had the co-pilot manage the accelerator

Had it flat-bedded when I had the mysterious steering issue which turned out to be a broken control arm. No shame here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Throttle cable, first one I broke since 1984, when I bought the car.
Ordered a Terry cable and a Gemo, I'll install the Terry and keep the Gemo in the trunk, cheap insurance.
