My back has been acting up so this is all i have managed to do.
Need to make a spacer to raise the throttle body to align the throttle shaft with the bell crank to get full throttle.

My son and i got her back running once again, now on the Holley set up.
Still lots i want to do and seems we now have a blown wheel cylinder to fix.
Very uncomfortable to drive without seats but they too are on order.
Next we will be moving the rear axle back an inch or two so it sits more even in the wheel opening.

WTH - a stool? At least you could have done is splurge for the bucket seats. I've got a few 5 Gal one kicking around if you need some. 
BTW, it's looking real good. So how's the build on the 60 going?

Haven't touched it in a long while, i am finding it very hard to even work on this one these days.
I need my son back home to do the grunt work, that's why we have kids isn't it?

Old war injuries still playin up on you, eh? I can relate. I've had to get the kids to help me numerous times lately.

Swapped the tires and wheels from my PU and took it for a short spin around the neighborhood.
Engine misses as it comes off idle starting out but runs well once it's going.
Needs a full tune up though so we won't do too much adjusting just yet.
Upon torquing the wheel nuts up the drivers side rear, the drum would lock the wheel up, was not out of round but center was badly warped.
Could not get it right so we cut the center out, put what was left on and adjusted the shoes out to hold it in place.
Still needs a lot of little things but it does drive.

Looks good Vince. With the paint, you can't even see the plate riveted around the tub very easy.
I'm sure that your "hack job" is better than most great jobs by so called pros.
Look forward to seeing it one of these days.

Great news Vince. I'll be stopping by when I am through there in Sept. Probably on the 26th or 30th.
