Decided to clean up the sill plates. Started to remove the years of oxidation, now to massage all the tiny dents out....

No, I need to strip the paint of off of the latch mechanisms. Previous whoever didn't take the time to do it right. Thanks for noticing!! I was really hoping someone would see that

Thanks for the help on my dead car electrical problem. It turned out to be the battery ground cable connection at my compressor frame, worked fine until it didn't. I moved the cable to an exhaust manifold bolt and that fixed everything. I will put the details on my project thread.

Took her out for a ride, washed, then put it back in the "barn".
You just did that so you can "find" it next weekend, didn't you? C'mon, tell us the unvarnished truth!!!

Drained my gas tank, pulled it and bent the edges over so it would fit better.
My original tank on the upper left side had the flange bent up for frame clearance. My replacement tank did not. I had it in, secured and gas in it last spring before I noticed it. It was pushing it about 1/4” to the right and cutting on my exhaust hanger. Also it hung just a little to low in the back.
Now it seems right.
Also when it was mostly empty I adjusted the float a little. With 2-1/2 gallons it is just below empty now. It was even further below before I started. At about 3 to 3-1/2 gallons it is on the empty line. At about 12 gallons it about at 3/8 of a tank on the gauge. It will be a little more accurate than it was. Maybe with the tank up a little more in the back and the gauge adjusted it will read almost full when I fill it up. Was just over 3/4.

How tall a scoop is that?

4 inches at the opening exactly. Looking for something to make supports out of so just measured it.
Gives just enough room for the air cleaner.

Started on my radiator today after I got the Fury home. Going with OEM style radiator, which arrived last week.
What excites me is I have a Mopar air cleaner on the way, thanks to Wyatt. Right now I have a Holley chrome top on an original bottom, so I am stoked about getting the right one on.
Car drives smooth since I did the suspension.

And here I thought it was just me, I put KYB’s on my 77 last summer, one went in with no problem, the second one was an SOB, like you guys I had a zip tie, curse a lot and it finally went in. What the heck?
