I'm finally starting to work on Bella.

[Pick]

Bella has been my backup driver since i brought her home. She got a quick carb rebuild to fix the idle problem so i wouldn't have to heel-toe the gas and brake every time i needed to slow down or stop. She also got an HEI distributor to replace the points and make starts more of a guaranteed thing. Other than that, she's just been sitting in the driveway, patiently waiting for her turns when my DD let me down or when i had the occasional need for her bed. She didn't do anything quickly....not take off, not steer, not stop......definitely not stop, actually.....and she reluctantly hit highway speed only in short bursts (and voiced her displeasure by slinging the contents of her crankcase all over the engine compartment and out the exhaust).

Her patience (and mine) is finally starting to pay dividends.....new parts arrived today and her build is finally beginning.

Be patient with us.....we're both obviously a bit slow at times.
