Front two seats sent out to the caner for recaneing. Paint stripping has been started....front bumper and part of front two fenders almost stripped.....getting excited as I see the progress being made...should have gas tank and carborator back today or tomorrow...still waiting on fuel pump. Have the distributor and new plugs, plug wire etc ready to go on...
Update....well everyone....finally got to fire her up on Sunday....was so exciting to hear her run....needs some fine tuning and some gaskets replaced but overall everything looks good mechanically wise. Taking all chrome parts to be recromed next week....things are coming along quite nicely.....this is such an exciting project to be working on. I see now why all the excitement the one gets as each peice of the puzzle comes together....I will post pics soon.
How's it coming along now SEDent ? Looking forward to seeing the progress photos
