70mcarlo Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Unfortunately no, Rock - still a work in progress, as I've been devoting most of my free time as "caregiver" for my Uncle (who recently passed) and a Mother with dementia. Once I get through dealing with the aftermath re: my Uncle, I hope to get back to working on it as it is a great stress reliever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VETTEWITHLEGS Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Yup, I was so grateful for your help, I almost thought about changing her color to GREEN! But, my heart just won't let me! Trying to get as close to the old color as possible, with, maybe a lot more metallic! Thanks again, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbreese Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Pulled the valve covers and looked the valve train over, pulled the plugs and checked them. Checked the valve lash and all was good. Buttoned her back up and went for a little cruise. Â David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballubet Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 After being up on jack stands for over 4 months it's down on the garage floor once again. I finally got the fuel tank back in and installed the rear sway bar. Now to get the MSD box wired in and fire her up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tucked mine up at the front of the inner fender well and it is kinda of hidden by the battery tray. Â David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packratt Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Did inventory on parts I have for the rebuild and discovered I have more than I thought even extras! Started cutting out the trunk floor getting ready for new floor. Trimmed and test fit the tail panel I bought from Jared.
