The View From Here

 Not much getting done at the moment. If you've been following along on social media (our YouTube channel) you already know that my spouse is terminally ill so I spend most of my time at home. But the shop's still there. Waiting. One last task to do before we roll her out the door for the first time is to re-locate the battery to the trunk and run a 16 foot positive cable up to the starter.

Progress:

  • engine dialed in, starting and idling = 100%
  • wiring = 75%
  • floor patching/sealing = 100%
  • new brakes, lines, fab master cylinder and pedal relocation = 100%


Stay tuned!

New Year Shop Update

 After double checking my work and fixing some leaky fittings I'm proud to say that after 3 decades in a barn, our Pontiac now has a functioning and upgraded brake system. All new from front to back except for the drums which really need turned. She's almost ready to pull out of the garage for a first test of the system. But first I had a transmission pan gasket that decided to start leaking and I need to address that and make sure the trans fluid level is good. After this the next job on my list is moving the battery to the trunk.

Stay tuned!
