Getting the brakes on now that my backing plate eliminators are here.
Snapped two hub studs so I had to raid it all apart at the end.
Fun stuff always working with old junk

Pressured up the brakes and none of my new ends leaked. That's so nice when that happens.
I went to the back to start the bleeding and no fluid was making it to the rear.
Turns out the junction on the rear axle was totally full of sludge that plugged the soft line.
Once I took it all apart and cleaned it I've now got brakes.
And fluid on every foot of my shop floor

Looking forward to the end result on this one.
Kicking myself for going with the 33x10.50 KM3’s over these Klever 9.50 MT/2’s. I really like the look of the Klevers. Must resist temptation to swap them out…

Things should happen pretty fast this weekend. I think I have all of the parts in house to make this thing a runner.

On mine, the driver side was the pita. I think that’s why it was MIA when I got to it. The passenger side was clogged and had been replaced before. It was easy in relation to the other side. City Racer ftw on mine as well.

Red and Berkley have taken over a bay in the old shop. It's nice having company.

Wrong kind of stripping

I think I'll call it a day. Need to go get a battery and coolant tomorrow.
I think all I need to do is wire it up now and add fuel and coolant.
Every gas pedal is different as is the way I do the throttle cable.
Since this one is getting a 74 air cleaner I can't do the casual loop from the front.
This will be a direct pull. The only downside to the direct pull is that the throttle is a little more touchy. The longer loop makes it a bit smoother. Most don't notice.
This one has an early pedal because it had been converted to a Weber.
I drill a little hole in whatever I can. Flat spot or through the rod itself.
Find a good spot directly behind where the cable will exit the pedal and drill your hole.
Trim the sheath on the Wilwood giving yourself enough room for the pedal to achieve wide open throttle.
Add some heat shrink to the cable where you plan to cut it so it does not fray.
This is how much sheath is left at WOT

Loomed wires this morning to the fuel Pump, tach at the DUI and extended the positive and negative to reach the battery I'm about to go purchase at lunch.

Waiting on Amazon to move to the crank. Need a part that's on the car.
