i went to PAW to get some carb parts. They are closed now on weekends. I was a little upset about that. I position the truck right next to entry door and burned some rubber. I didn't bring a camera but here is a pick of a fender well.

I did a complete front drum brake job on the ol gal. Took me longer to gather all the parts than it did to do the work had to go to 4 different parts stores in two different towns to get it all then had to deal with 18 year olds that never herd of front drum brakes. Stopin good now.

Dropped my 68' off at the body shop for touchup and final color sanding! Hopefully my last trip to the body shop..at least for the next 12 months. Always something to do!

Just got it back from having a friend put together and install a motor in trade for some work I did for him (you have to love the barter system). Didn't seem like it was running right -has a low speed miss- , so I picked up some plugs and wires. Pulling the plugs they looked brand new so I put them back in, went to change wires and found out the box only had 7 wires in it, so I cleaned up the old wires, put them back on making sure they snapped into place and took it for a drive around the block. Didn't seem to help it that much, but didn't seam to hurt it that much

I went to the salvage yard nearby, and hunted down a kickdown for the TH475. not that I really needed it, the 454 produces plenty-o-torque, but what the heck. picked up two kickdown switches, and wiring, for $5.43!!
10 min. later, and WOW!! this is what I've been missing!! she's so much lighter on her feet.

Fired up the heirloom for the first time in my possession, probably for the first time in 5 years. Tomorrow its trial-by-fire with the 3 on the tree.
