Beauty shots.

I took some time yesterday to take some decent pictures from a few different angles. You also see the new tail lights & stands on there, the belt shroud and some of the valve cover painting.

A couple large sized ones here and here.

Wheel cylinder rebuild

After seeing a big of fluid on the rear drum I realized it was time for a bit of brake servicing. After disassembling everything found that a rusty buildup in the heel cylinder was the source of the leak. A quick hone and reassemble and its good as new.

Belt shroud

During a junkyard with Mark (aka Wicked Hair, Hippie Man, etc) I came across this shroud from an old Volvo that I just had to have, I wasn't sure why yet but I knew it had to make it on the bucket somewhere



After a little sandblasting and paint then making a mount its on.

Trans dipstick

The little metal look on the cheap proform dipstick was looking terrible so I scouted the shop for something else and I came across one of the "frankenstein" bolts from my old Miata

Satin chrome alternator

Further dechroming, the alternator was a more involved one.

Tidying up

I redid my vacuum lines and cleaned the badly oxidized carb, at some point I need to actually clean/rebuild it but I am still holding out for a multi carb setup.

Painted the headlight buckets

The dechroming is afoot...

Spring time!

Time for new springs that is, the old were saggy and had some spacers in there or ride height - even then I had some driveshaft clearance issues. A quick call to Speedway and I had some springs here a day later.

Done!

Out on woodward

Just a shot John took on his phone last time out on Woodward.

A little tank art

I wanted to do something that incorporated my kids names (Jacquelyn and Benjamin) and a skull I have been drawing since I was kid so I decided to do a little tank painting, the "aged" it a bit with scotch-brite.
