Me either my friend, me either.
Maybe Sunday afternoon. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: Mayhems 71 Nova
 

Still on the stand, but ever closer. Hopefully mounting the trans and going back in the car Sunday.
Old valve covers on just for mock up purposes and to avoid oil leakage.

Lookin' Good Man! Nice and sorted out underneath and that switch panel looks like business.

Re: Mayhems 71 Nova
 

It is getting there. Spent all of tonight working on wiring and cleaning up previous &quot;birds nest&quot; wiring.
Got the panel all wired up, tested everything and all is working. Having to make custom aluminum panels
for the cowl to mount my gauges outboard like the red one was.
Turned motor over just checking the starter. Sounded good, no shims needed.
Looks like tomorrow we will get the carb on and fire it up.
I was busy enough today that I didn't take any pics.
