Day II Deuce

Looking good Graeme! Sometimes we do our best work under the pressure of a deadline!

I bet L78 Fred has a few 772 fans and clutches he could help you with.

Lot's of distractions today as I had to pull some snow off the roof of the house and dig my trailer out of the snow. We then finished up all the wiring that was left to complete on the car, and tightened down all the fuel lines. I'll likely fire it tomorrow and will then assemble the front clip to finish it off. Tonight I buttoned up the interior and got the seats back in it after finishing off the lighting circuits for the gauges, tack and radio. I leave you with a few shots of the interior with more to come on Thursday as I roll it into the show.

Looking real good!

A couple quick donuts in the snow, assuming a proper lack of sand and salt, would be quite the proper way to load this awesome car in the trailer!

Snowing here again today with another inch or two of fresh fluff. Should be ready to fire the car after it warms up a touch this afternoon. I'll grab a video when there's time.

Didn't warm up too much today. In fact it snowed all day and highways are a total white out here with blowing snow. Another 6" or more on the ground tonight after a foot fell on the weekend. Needless to say I didn't fire the car today and if I even haul it tomorrow, I'll be using the winch as it's real crappy out. It's going to drop over the next day or so with -17 F forecast for Sunday night after the show.

In any case, buttoned up most of the front end today and installed the dust shields on the inner fenders earlier tonight. I still need to finish installing the cowl vent panel, the grill, park lights, front bumper, rocker moldings and fill the car with anti-freeze if it's going anywhere. I can't believe this crap we're getting for weather the past three weeks straight. Here's a couple new pics which gives me a little hope that it will be finished tomorrow. Back at it after 6 hours of rest. Nothing like a little pressure to get things done.

I believe Mike Keener purchased that car from Ed Stinn Chevrolet here in Cleveland, OH. All Ed Stinn Ordered COPOs had vinyl tops. I do not know if Mike purchased it from Ed Stinn directly or if his local dealer did a dealer trade of cars to obtain it. Don.
