Well, this happened:


First fill up. Time to enjoy and work out the bugs. I'll get better pics when I get a chance.

order today, have them monday or I am pretty sure the racer shops stock them in town.

The banjo fittings need to be a 45 degree as the wheel cylinders have a an angled backside to clear the kingpin. I'm going to check around (Bergs, Performance Auto, NAPA...) and see what I can dig up.
Joel dropped off a temp gauge that I'll hook up for some vitals, and I might as well sort out my fuel gauge while I'm at it.

Finally got around to swapping out the 235 that shat the bed on the way back from Watertown last summer. Picked up a 54 235 out of Wisconsin and painted it the obligatory gold color. Runs great and doesn't leak oil! Also scored a set of whitewalls for around town. A big thank you to Tim, Tokyo, Blaine and Bolo for the extra hands. Engine pics to come soon-ish...

I had a FREAKIN' blast working with the guys on Stefan's car.  We may have taken several beer breaks, and my stomach hurts from laughing...but lots was accomplished!

Thanks guys, the white walls are for only around town as they are a bit cracked. But I agree that it is a totally different looking car.

I've moved it to my new place, eyed-up the under dagmar. I'll have to drill out a rivet and pound out a small dent.
