Like the copper distributor cap terminals too.

Got the trans out of the 62 today. The ever so common popping out of 2nd gear T10. I'll get this straightened out next week.

Great progress Tim. Thanks for sharing!

I traveled to Chicago this week to get the transmission straightened out, as well as look at an injected 57 and a dual quad 59. No surprise, 2nd gear was a little funky, but the synchro and blocker looked really good. Someone has been in the trans before (again, no surprise).

The trans overall looks really nice. Glad to say, this one has not been abused and blown up. The plan was I'd be able to bring the transmission back home with me on Tuesday. Due to the fact this is an early aluminum T10, it has a 32 tooth 2nd gear as opposed to the later 30 tooth (stronger). Soooooo, I had to wait a few extra days to source a nice, USA made 2nd gear. That all got finished up yesterday.

Once I get back from the NCRS Regional in Iowa, I can get this buttoned up week after next.

See you Thursday Tim :beers:

Hmmm... I don't recall/remember seeing what you acquired for a trailer, Tim....:dunno:

I ordered a 24ft Featherlite at the 1st of the year. It came in a few weeks ago. So far, I'm impressed with the unit.

VERY nice !! and light. You have the facility to clean it after salt use too. Should look like new for a long time.
Just noticed the fender well comes out too for floor to ceiling escape. That will be nice for the low cars.

Fat guy friendly too:smile:

Now that I'm back from Iowa, I can get back on the 62. I cleaned up all of the old grease in the shifter, lubed it up, mocked and adjusted it on the trans. Just got back from a 15 mile test ride......works perfect now.

62 degrees and sunny as I write this. Kinda hard not to say the hell with it and just ride around today:hmmm:

Glad the trans issue is behind you, and I hope you put a couple hundred miles behind you with the nice weather too...:headbang:
Spent my day busting my butt to get primer/sealer on the Camaro floor...but, hey, I was outside to do that.. LOL

Now that I'm back from my recent NCRS events, and I got my head above water on some of the customer work.......I had a chance to get back on to the 62. The carb is back from Rob Kunz, so I could get that installed and lay down a final tune. I'm thrilled with how the car runs!:3gears:

Did some small tweaks as well. Lubed up the window regulators, lubed up the heater cables, and threw a hundred miles on in the last couple of days.

In the next few weeks, I'll get the car photographed and see what I am going to do with it. I've really been enjoying the car.......hate to see it go away:hmmm:

Looks good, Tim. Your driving weather should be great for taking that on the roads of Minocqua.

While I have been so busy with a 71 LT-1 that came in, all I have been doing is cranking on the miles in the 62. In that time, the tach gave up the ghost. It was starting to get a little noisy, and then one day Tracey and I were out for a ride......it got pissed. I came in early today to get it blown apart.

I had a tach in stock for the car (from another 62). I'm sending the speedo off the Roger at Speedometer Solutions in Milwaukee to give it the once over. It would wander around from 60 to 100:grin:

Funny, I have speedometers doing the same thing.....:hmmm:

Must be the 60's genre, the one in my '66 Chevelle will shoot up to 100+ every once in a while too...:grin:

A great car that keeps getting better!

“It would wander around from 60 to 100”

I tell cops this all the time!!

The speedometer came back yesterday:)

I came in early to get back on the 62. A new fuel gauge had to be installed (it did not come apart nicely) so before I stabbed the cluster back in, I tested that. Notice the grade school science project lol

Right on with the resistance I had in the rheostat

Reassemble and install......

When the tach went to lunch, it took out the NOS tach cable. Actually, the casing was too long (I damn near could have used it for a driveshaft loop). But at the time the reproduction cable was on back order. Fast forward to today, the correct length cable is available, but the internal cable appears to be too short. So, I'm waiting for an insert kit and I'll make a cable that is a bit longer.

Tim >>> professional at work on another classic. Looks fantastic!

I’m assuming, what looks like a pliable plastic lid cut in half for protecting the vinyl dash during the R&R. Great idea.

I do know I have a stack of those from old coffee containers I use for everything. Handy in the shop.

Chris.

Exactly. It avoids raising hell with the dash pad

As you can tell, Tim always corrects and improves his cars and those he sells. He is a perfectionist who only sells correct and fully functional cars!!!

100% true. No buyer’s remorse with Tim.

My brother and I were talking last weekend that we would buy a car from Tim sight unseen.

A fresh set of Goodyear's on the 62, and some pics from this morning.
