The SW gauges are a great addition! I used a universal Choke pull kit from JCWhitney on my Holley 6210. The kit had a lot of stuff that didn't apply, but it had a little "S" shaped bracket that allowed the pull to act like the thermostatic spring when pulled. The high speed idle cam was an...

This tiny project reminds me of things that I didn't like working in a body shop. I used a wire wheel on a die grinder to remove the heavy rust from the wagon bed, then hand sanded the remainder of the body. Several coats of primer have the body ready for a warm day and paint. Continuing to show som...

Cleveland Auto Show

The Cleveland Auto Show is 2/25 thru 3/5. John and I are planning to go on Friday 3/1 and are expecting to be there about 6:30pm. It might not be Detroit, but you can get close to and sit it cars that your interested in. Also, finding a parking space is alot easier than downtown Detroit. Anyone else?

Carlisle Wagon Restoration

The new body for the beverage trailer arrived today. This 25 year old antique "Radio Flier 80" was actually manufactured on the 141st day of 1979. Notice the build sheet. It came in the original box. If the seller knew what we were going to do with it, he probably wouldn't have sold it to ...

Wash, glaze, and a car cover enhance the enthusiasm for this project. Most of the mouldings have been delivered to some folks for polishing and the bumpers for a quality rechroming. An acceptable supplier has been found and the under the hood and under the dash wiring harnesses have been ordered.

Must be a time for bathrooms. Just finished the bathroom off the kitchen. The wall paper was removed, ceiling and walls were primed and two coats of paint finished the deal. No plumbing. I wonder how long it will take your son to figure out how to re-adjust the governor. Boys will be boys, isn't it ...

64 Malibu SS Convertible

Been an interesting week with some traveling to investigate parts available possibilities and some additional purchasing of moulding, emblems etc.. Just another step in the process.
Some of the trim was simply not up to the quality of this car and its' outstanding new paint job.

Do we know why the time is incorrect? Is that something that can be controlled or is this time correct somewhere??
