Just couldn't keep away, good solid java green car, someone has sprayed primer on the outside

I went to Brian's and looked at this car to give my opinion on what he should do with it as he did not want to put anymore money in it.  I thought it was a perfect car to start with.  Very solid and seemed to run good.  Glad ya got it.  If I had not had my '70, it would have been sitting in my driveway.  Godfather, this is the same car I was telling you about.

Damned nice little car, went to check it out with Travis... glad he bought it.  I was trying to figure out what i could sell if he wasn't going to buy it.  Very clean, very little rust..... If you don't keep this one for a bit, Travis, I'll have to kick you.

Replaced the front brake cylinder, replace the rear cylinder and axle seals rebuilt the carb, got it register, now for some insurance and a windshield,  ALMOST READY FOR THE ROAD.  Ahhh the almost out of storage blues

Wish mine was that close to being ready to go....

That's a sweet little car.   

[travisyoung]

still have not figured out why it acts like it has a lawn mower engine, but have started taking all the components off to get ready for paint

[travisyoung]

Sanding in progress, windows will come out this weekend, maybe to the paint shop by next week,  have been busy with other projects like vr6 timing chains

[travisyoung]

picked up a bunch of goodies at cyw, but still need headliner carpet,  door panels and chrome trim

[travisyoung]

lots of sanding and priming and more sanding

[travisyoung]

not to much progress lately, but i have some help

[certdubtech]

Freakin' sweet....

after getting the tag and registration got a letter in the mail stating i needed to surrender the al title and i got a little nervous,  after waiting a month or two i deceided to call the office and spoke with someone and she aggreed that since there was no title that i did not need to surrender one,  got the tn title in the mail the other day wheew

Glad to hear that worked out o.k.  I hate buying stuff with any kind of title issues.  They make it much more complicated than it needs to be.

went to start the 66 and it was out of gas,  went to the staore put a couple of gallons in and she fired right up,  got a little inspired to get back working on the project, woke up this am to the smell of gas, seems the reason it was out of gas was the fuel line or the fitting on the bottom of the tank,  gonna put some new fuel line on and recheck,  gotta love the aircooleds

Leaked out in the driveway is a lot better than leaking out going down the road... get this little guy going already!!!!
