The wheel polishing is inspirational!! The pics of all the tiny parts in the carb rebuild just gave me a headache, not looking forward to that project :(

spent about 15min on breaking the bead on the front wheels by hand to replace the valve stems. it was actually pretty easy! now the front wheels are on. pics tomorrow if it's nice out.

Wheels look good, what grits did you use before hitting it with polishing compound?

Nice looking ride! I have basically the same car...LOL I found mine near me and got it cheap. I have it running, but all stock now. Gonna have to get my carb issues worked out or get another and clean out the unwanted crap. I am not well versed in these cars and hope I can get it done before I run out of cash. Mine has 218,000 on it and the motor seems to be in good shape. I just need to get it running right!
