Doing interior work today, and failing miserably. Headliner bows won't slide in, the "pockets" are too small. Oh well... some updated pictures in the meantime.

The interior turned out nice.

Possibly road worthy in a few weeks?

I kind of got sidetracked with other things. This car is a hard starting SOB. I need to figure out why. It will not start cold unless I spray starting fluid into the carburetor. Once running, it's great. Also, having issues getting fluid to the front calipers. I am going to start working on it again this weekend. It's so close, but being a royal thorn in my side.

I was able to resolve the hard start issue, finally found the proper choke rod and box through a vendor. Trouble shot the brakes, loose fitting on the proportioning valve and a bad master cylinder. Now, trying to figure out where the draw in the electrical system is. I also removed the 3.07 geared rear axle and swapped in a freshly rebuilt 3.55 unit.
