Boy Steve, she spins like a top! Nice project - you and your son did good! Betcha he's proud as a peacock. I can here him on the playground at school with his buds,&quot;so there I was walkin' my old man through the rebuild procedure for a small block poncho....&quot;

That is SO cool!

Had to wait for the wife and daughter to get home this evening to put the hood back on. Then I washed all the dust off and fixed a broken A/C compressor wire. Now everything works at the moment but the high speed on the blower fan, which didn't work before the rebuild, anyway. I think the relay has gone bad.

Here's some shots after the bath.

I remember their commercial with an old guy bringing in a Model T.
At the end of the ad, the tag line was &quot;See ya again, boys&quot;.
That old man had a wicked grin, too. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

I got some NOS seat material from SMS Upholstery and had my upholstery guy replace the center section on the driver's seat bottom. The center seam ripped a couple winters ago when I made the idiotic move of kneeling on the center of the seat to get something in the car. NEVER DO THAT ON A COLD VINYL SEAT! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

The NOS material was dated 1975 and matched perfectly.

I have around 600 miles on the rebuilt engine now. Still runs a bit warmer than it used to, but eventually it should cool down (by winter time, I guess).

Nice job on the seat repair! The car looks great.
