Tanks Roger!

of course let's hope that the engine runs like it looks

Meanwhile I go for the carburetor - here some pictures for you guys.

If anybody has to be ashamed than it's me! It's kind of crazyness to do so much work.

I hope we meet next year, in Carlisle!

Of course I placed the velcro tape on the spots that usually fall of easily.

Put some anti sound pads to support hollow places and to avoid wrapping.



Oh yes, I forgot: To be absolutely sure I removed the rear and front window!

Next I took the headliner and put some duck tape on the back to protect the surface

On the duck tape I put a velcro tape from 3M (holds up to 80 ºC, just in case.

The same procedure o the foam plate

Some pics to share?

1. nacked roof

2. there was some kind of wool between the headliner and the roof. As the wool began to fall apart I put a foam plate in and glued it with a glue that can stand up to 95 ºC, without falling off.

3. Press it on and let it dry for a couple of hours.

... and where was that? Apparentely not in a bottle without bottom! haha

And while I'm waiting for some parts comming in from California I do some small works:

The valve cover bolts need a new heli coil insert

remove the old mufflers and put a pair of new KYB shocks in the front end

- well, a pair of Smitties should take care of the sound.

Finally, after two weeks I have the motor mounts right where I wanted them to be. I spent 105 $ at the first blacksmith. He placed the hangers in the middle but then the oil pan was laying on the cross member. Then I spent another 15 $ and did it myself - Now it is perfect.

I received the pictures - thanks a lot!!!
That’s exactly what I needed.
You have a beautiful car by the way.
