The Wheels Fit!!!

The new wheels got here today and fit like a glove! Tomorrow I will drop them off at Indy Powdercoating so they can work their magic! Thanks to WheelKid from the HAMB and Rally America.

Its Cold Outside!!!


We got more work done today. We plumbed up the front brakes


Got the old master cylinder off, so now I can get the new one ordered. Got the gas tank down, and out and ready to be refinished.



We had to wait to re-seal it until it is above 60 (not even close today). We also got both of the rear fenders on, and all the bolts in and tight. We decided the fender welt looks...uh dumb, so we removed it and snugged the fenders up. The wheels from Rally America should be here tomorrow. If they fit, off to Indy Powder Coating they go and then on the car!

So next time here is whats on the agenda...


  • Get new Master Cylinder on


  • Get the brakes completely plumbed up, and working


  • Replace fuel line from pump to tank


  • Seal the tank and get it mounted back under the car and connected


  • Take off the intake and exhaust manifolds to get ready for the headers and Edmunds intake


Oh yeah, and if you are reding this, leave me a comment so I know someone is out there :)

Cool Stuff Update

I have new wheels coming and that will hopefully solve the brake issues! Rally America is making new ones, which will look just like the originals!



Check this out...
How about a NOS set of Saaty Meteor 100 Fuel Injectors on loan from Bubba? How cool is that!!! Now if we can just get them to work...More to come.

Brakes!!!!






















The weather is warm so we got the car moved over to Tabb's. We tore into the brakes first. Got all the old stuff off oretty quickly and got the new Disc brakes on just as fast! Looks like I am going to have to find som different wheels as they are rubbing on the calipers. But so far so good!
