The weather has gotten better here in the Midwest and I have been taking advantage of it every chance I get. The engine and transmission , all the brake lines, dashboard have been installed.
Tested the lights every thing works. Radiator have been installed as well. Just about done with engine Bay. My carburetors came in to from Mike Malone today had to test fit them. Waiting on the heat shield to come in to mount the carburetors. Fingers crossed I hoping to have the car running by the end of the month. That would be a major milestone.

Made more progress today after over 20 years of the engine and the car being separated I got the engine running today. Still have to dial in the solex but it runs. Couldn't have done it without the help of Steve Allen, Dave Premo and Tom Lorick. Tom spent a couple of hours on the phone with me helping me daily in the distributor drive gear. Tom encouraged me when he saw I was getting very frustrated. Thanks Tom.
