It took way to long but, she's back on the road! New kiddo takes priority though but here's the update, while she was down we re-jetted the Holley, replaced the u-joints, rear axle and control arms, brake pads and shoes, and a new headlight retractor and combo switch. All functions great and the re-jet made a huge difference, pulls great straight through the rev band idels pretty smooth drives great! Hopefully this is the last major ovehaul for a while so I can get decent shocks and rear tires on,then some tlc for the sheet metal attention. Pics later.

 

nice work with it.

Grant? if so , i had this wheel in my '81 many years ago. man ... memories ....

 

Grant Gt, love that old school vibe that just fits the cars era. It's either 13.5" or 14" can't remember exactly. Glad to bring back memories of past machines. Makes my work have a bit of extra soul. That dash makes me sad however.

 

Short quick update, most recent upgrades/repairs new shocks and front tires, Tokico Blue's and had to go 175/70/R13 so with the rears having limited miles it's now a stagered 185/70 rear 175/70 front. Replaced the accelerator pump diaphragm as well. Next on the list in no particular order are new engine and trans mounts, a solution to the trans cross-member bushings, new springs, front end bushings (add rear sway-bar to that), and install my manual fan override switch. After this I intend to get to work on the interior and exterior issues. She get's a bit more sorted with each passing month.
