Just wanted to provide an update -
Cosmetics are about 85% finished. I have to paint the wheels/hubs, the original 01CA81 registration front and rear as well as numerous small parts.
Mechanically it’s running excellent minus one small problem. All fluids changed and almost no leaks! Engine got new ignition components.
I took it for its first drive of about 10 miles and it went great! Engine was running perfectly, transmission shifted beautifully…I was ecstatic and still am. That is until my brake pedal started getting soft….drove it home and sure enough a nice amount of brake fluid coming from the rear hull access holes. Broken brake hard line in the rear…damn. New 5/16 cunifer line will be going in when I get a break from work.
Excuse the clutter/mess, these pics were taken just before we backed it out for the first drive.
Engine run after tune up components/carb rebuild
