Ok. So I've been running the engine a little each day. Fixed a couple of leaks. And changed the oil and filter. Also just been dialing in the carb and timing.

There driveshaft is off at long island driveshafts getting rebuilt.

So I just been getting the interior done. Picked up a really nice panasonic cd player and got it all installed.

Now I'm just creating my own door panels because mine are shot.

After the door panels, I gotta install the driveshaft, then I'm gonna shoot another coat of epoxy primer on it. Then we drive it.

Stay tuned for pics
