Battery fits nice.


Finished up the tank and fuel sender hole.








I had to cut a larger access hole to get to the trans cooling lines and pressure switch for the converter lock up.




Flexible fill for the trans. Couldn't get the stock one to fit. Its been like that 2 steps forward 1 step back!
 
Haven't work on this move since last May when we started an addition to the house. We added a 480 sq ft family room and covered patio.

Well anyway I finally figured out what was wrong with the brakes on the Stude. One fitting was not sealing right and had a minute leak and I couldn't get a good pedal.
So I pulled the rear brake line and regulated the end. Man I hate doing double flare fittings. I let it gravity bleed and now the cylinders are moving. So at least I think I'm headed in the right direction.
 
Still doing body work!

I don't think I've seen this build before, it's really cool!

I just found a 1949 Starlight Coupe on my local classified site for only $1,200... hmm...
