More tuning
Did some clutch adjusting and carb tuning. Still runs a little too rich and cannot get a good idle under 1400-1500RPM.
A Good Day
Got the Neutral Safety Switch straightened out by grounding it at the relay. Now she starts with the key. Also lowered the rear by moving the springs up the top hole in the shackles and replaced the brake distribution block with a proportioning valve. A good day.
No oil leaks after replacing the oil pan gasket and good oil pressure too.
Dashboard stripped & primed
Stripped the dash and blasted the glove box and ash tray. Hit them with a red scotchbrite and wax and grease remover. After that, applied some DP90 expoxy primer (black) then good coat of sandable primer (gray). Next is some wet sanding and color…stay tuned.
Glove box trim
Painted the Glove Box trim Black with Chrome paint lettering/fish. Not perfect, but the best I can do with my old eyes and small brush..
Dash bezel and Glove Box trim
Since the theme has turned into a candy red and gloss black… I sandblasted and cleaned the dash and glove box bezel. They were worn out an either needed fixed or replaced. In case you haven’t looked at the price of replacing the dash bezel recently, I decided to fix/paint them. They will be gloss black with silver hightlights as seen by the Wiper piece.
