Amazing story of relocating & bringing this car back home with the followup on the restoration.
Nothing compares being able to relive past memories and meeting & making new friends that appreciate a great example from the past?

Just got off the phone with Eric and the carbs are done. Glad I sent them to him as they both had "issues" so there should be a noticable improvement in drivability and performance in addition to looking pretty. Video of them will be up on his FB page yet today. He can't ship them until Tuesday so I will have them Wednesday. Getting closer..........

After we returned from cars and coffee I spent a couple hours on some nit picky items that I needed to get done.
Touched up several various paint nicks on hubcaps, valve covers, generator, etc. One of the things that bothered me is the generator belt was not fitting properly even though we (thought) ordered the correct one. The belt was too long and the adjustment was all the way at the end of its travel. Jody Anderson helped with the actual measurement for a correct belt which I sourced and now the adjustment for the generator is right in the middle of its travel like it should be. While doing that I replaced a parts store hose clamp on a power steering hose with a more correct one. Getting closer......... Last edited by RPOLS3; 08-03-2025 at 02:03 PM.

Carb's showed up today at the office.......goal is to get them on the car tonight, fire it up and set the timing, etc.
Heard from the voltage regulator rebuild guy and that is finally in their que for restoration. Will be a couple more weeks for that, but the parts store one currently on the car works fine for now. Is that the light at the end of the tunnel or a freight train coming at me the other way...........?!
