Thanks guys.

I actually feel kinda bad because I couldn't get the carb to clean up as nice as I wanted it to. If you'll notice the heavy oxidation on the front of the bowl in the "before" pics, after I ran the parts through the cleaning process, that part of the bowl was pretty heavily damaged underneath the oxidation. I wound up having to run the castings through process 3 times before I could get them to take a decent conversion coating. I was afraid of doing more harm than good by making a 4th attempt (the cleaning processes are pretty aggressive) so I stopped there.

Thanks again everybody for all your kind words & support, I appreciate it more than you know.

Best wishes for a Happy New Year everyone.
Eric

An update..... just been gathering parts. Almost have everything except for a few big items. I still need two front fenders, core support, and both rear wheel well moldings. I have almost everything else to complete the car.

Here is how she looks today....I just have to remove the front windshield, rear glass, steering column, brake booster, the doors, the deck lid and off comes the body.

Check out the wheels. I had custom adapters made so I could mount on my NOS Buick Dog Dish caps on my Weld Wheels.
