Rock Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Got it out of the garage and washed it. I think I have a cooling problem as it went above 220 degrees and I shut her down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Drove it to work again. I put on about 40 miles a day and working 7 days a week right now. Going through lots of gas in the 454 but its a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangeba Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Drove it, first time this year. Prior to starting, I poured a bit of gasoline down the carb and it fired right up. Sure is better than cranking till the carb refills! Why haven't I done this for the past 25+ years? Sure was fun to drive it again. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKZ03 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Knocked the scum off the surface, dusted her off, did a bit of cleaning, put on my new plate and went for a little cruise.  All clean   Last years plate   Due to the recent discussions on how many CUSTOMS are out there I thought this plate was in order for this year  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmall Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I nearly finished the disc brake conversion, removed the gas tank and tried to straiten up around the car. Lots of tools, old bolts, etc. laying around. Now it is organized so I can get back at it after church tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Added all new window, trunk and hood seals. No more wind and water leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 How much did the parts cost for doing that, Rock? I bought the kit from Tamaraz. It was $130.00. You get all the rubber seals with the plastic keepers. They were all pretty easy to replace. The door seals were the hardest cause you have to remove the inner panel.

overdrive Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Quote: Definitely something for me to look into, then... I get a nice steady drip from the mirror onto my seats when it rains >.< FYI, the seals he bought from Tamraz are for the side glass and trunk, not the windshield. Isn't your leak at the windshield? The windshield was installed without a soft rubber seal. You can reseal it. Read here. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
