I guess I needed to follow up on my own post. I didn't get the car till mid February & ever since I've been diong repair, replacements or modifications to it. I've put only about 150 miles on it since I've had it.
The entire brake system had to be redone &/or replaced. Dot5 coming out of wheel cyl, calipers, master cyl & brake hoses. The new Dot5 doesn't play nice with rubber components of today.I got all that done & cleaned. Now running Dot 4 & all is good
.
I had wheel lip molding, rocker moldings, pentastar, hood pins & hood emblems to install.
I had to pull the grill, bumper & valance to paint the radiator core support black. Seeing car colour through the grill looks like crap.
It got new wheels & tires.
Road lamps now installed.
Steering column had to be removed & rebuilt with the proper length shaft for power steering.
Carburators took lots of time. Missing & broken parts. Finially got the engine running good & responsive. Best idle is about 1050 rpm.
It's birthday is in November so I'll post some more pictures then.....Joe
