[wheee!]

I did detect a small fuel leak on the fuel rail near an injector hose. That again is not big deal as I will probably install a pallnet rail during the rebuild.

nice work chas (as if there was ever any doubt  )

I was hoping it would come with some awesome black licorice too but instead Chas sent me a nice engine inspection light lens as a bonus. What an upstanding gentleman he is!

They look nice! Are you going to replate the holders?

[wheee!]

Yup. I bought a sandblasting cabinet and I will be ordering a caswell plating system soon. All the hardware will be redone in copycad.

The gas line was installed to the garage yesterday which means I can insulate and finish the interior walls, install the furnace, and plumb the ductwork for the downdraft paint booth!

 

so excited!

[wheee!]

Paint booth??? Sweet! Do you do your own painting i assume?

I will be! This is a total project for me. I want to do as much as I can. I have taken a couple of classes on Autobody and paint and I am not afraid of the learning curve. The secret is patience and elbow grease!
