More progress...

Ken and Ed knocked out the back stays last night. They look good tacked in place.



I need to get new door bars and sill bars from Roll Cage Components. The first set was too short. I pushed the main hoop back about 10", so we would have more room in the cabin. While we wait for them to arrive, we can put the diagonal and harness bar in.

I made a list of To Do items and put it on the roof of the car. This will help focus the work on things that need to be done. They get marked off as they're done. Feeling of accomplishment: Accomplished!




We ran out of gas for the welder. Luckily National Welding is just down the road from work. A quick stop on the way in and $45 later, we're set to weld again.

Lastly, I welded the old emission holes in the exhaust manifold. The car sounds completely different. It's quite and seems to run better. We are still having a fuel delivery problem. It would run some with the mechanical pump, then die. It did the same thing with the electric pump. I'll get a pressure gauge and see if there's a pressure problem.
