Today I got a few more parts in. A HEI distributor, A 3'' chrome 350 embling air cleaner, a set of 350 emblems for the front fenders.

[gdavis]

Still need power steering pump maybe tomorrow. I also bought a use stock auto column in perfect shape. Just need to clean it up and paint it Orange.

Nice parts George, I bet you are anxious to hear the engine run.

[gdavis]

I am not so sure about the power steering pump. The pully is bent and the bolt, the treads are really bunged up. I don't know If I could cut the bolts off and weld another in it's place or not.
ordered the steering column today. I hope it turns out ok.

Who ever sold you that power steering pump is really dishonest, unfortunately it happens, sorry to hear that George, I hope you didn't pay very much for it, you can probably use it as a core for a remanufactured one.

The new parts look nice. Sucks about the power steering pump. I'm sure you'll figure it out

Yea, it really isn't that much of a loss. This is the first part that I bought a part off the parts board that didn't work for me. I am not really upset over it. Like you said I can still use it as a core charge. So I might even come out ahead anyway. I ordered 120 pcs. set of shrink tubing. Couldn't find or misplaced my soldering gun. I ordered another one from harbor frieght. I am going to order my wiring harness from speedway. They have a special going on and I will take advantage of it. So guys I will start on my wiring maybe in a couple weeks. This is something that I have been trying to get out of. I know I can do it, but just thinking about it it hurts my back. Had a good day today. I did not do nothing again.


Hey setx67 it really is not that big of a deal.(steering pump) I will use it as a core charge

New pumps are pretty cheap. I decided to just get a new one. You will figure it out, though. I got faith in you.

I'm glad someone does.

Dried some more blasting sand today. need to blast a few small parts. Drive shaft for xeen and some other parts. Nothing done on the old girl today.

[gdavis]

Again nothing to do. The auto column is on it's way to me. I got a email saying it will be here this week. I need to start doing something. But, it is so hot outside that when I try, I run for cover. I an hoping to start with the wiring maybe next week. By the Brian thanks for you help with the power steering pump and extra's. They will come in handy I am sure.

It will maybe cool off soon. My parents left today to stay 3 months in Florida, down near Sarasota. I may try to see them there in late October. Maybe I can stop by and see old Patches, and bring you some parts if you have any coming from up this way.

Looking good George! Keep those parts coming and lets see some more progress!!

Thanks a lot. I hope to have a lot of progress this month. Body work, shoot some color or more color, wiring, and the rest of the brake lines. Need two brake lines for the rear end and one for the rail.

I have a column in Vancouver, Wa. You want to pick it up. Only kidding.

[gdavis]

Done some sand blasting this morning. A drive shaft and motor perches and lug wrench. Boy was it hot.

[cubber]

haha, George. I would if I could.

[gdavis]

Just setting around today. Done some yard work. Waiting for money to get here so I can start buying again. To hot to work but at least i can buy parts. get them ready to install when the weather is cooler. I am fabricating a filler panel for the grill to the radiator support. making it first out of cardboard. Then I will do it in metal. Let you guys know what it looks like.

Nice to get a rest in here and there. I use cereal boxes for pattern making. Captian' Crunch works best.

I have a big piece of cardboard 3'x7' so I used that. I hope to get to the metal shop soon.

[gdavis]

Today I packaged some parts up that I sold. Also it was my birthday so I took it off. I will go to the parts place tomorrow and buy a red wire set for my new HEI distributor. I hope to find a 3'' air filter also. I have a stock 3'' but looking for something different. I like the way the purple ones look.

Happy Birthday George and many more.
