Discovered a defective part.

Ordered replacement part.

Hello Everyone,

I went over to the Shelby American Collection in Boulder and started 0100 up to circulate the fluids for a couple of minutes.  It is always nice to go over there and see the amazing collection of cars.

Thanks,
Eric

Hit the back roads to see how the car was running.  Evidently, pretty good!

I spent enough time to kill three rechargeable batteries on my Makita cordless drill with a brass wire brush on it, cleaning surface rust off cast iron parts for refinishing.  Bellhousing, strut rods, spindles, coil springs, motor mounts, steering shaft, clutch fork.  Fun times in the 40 degree shop.

Kinda like this!?

It was 60 glorious degrees in E TN today !  Not the typical Feb. winter day for sure.

Roads were dry....... Yup, you guessed it, burned up about an eighth of a tank !

Dip coated the pedals yesterday as part of refurbishing and installing a correct/original 67 pedal set.  Video came out nice.

Since I'm replating/restoring every original nut and bolt, where possible, on my car I could post every day. Recently, I've had great success with the Caswell Plating system.

Boy, if you have not already, a thread on your Caswell plating system would be fantastic.

I had asked about the Eastwood system a few months back and didn't get much information.

Found the LH air vent. Control cable broken, may be able to fix it. But will probably buy new cable with metal, rather than plastic sleeve.
