Hate it when that happens

They don't last forever, you know.

I was being cheap!

Made in USA!

They are good.

 

[dmw56]

Now I can see where I've been!
New mirrors.

 

[dmw56]

Carb is giving me problems now. Keeps flooding and leaking. Need to check float and needle valve.

The mirrors will be alerting you of the flashing red and blue lights behind you Don.

Replaced the springs in the passenger side door so the wife doesn't fall out.

 

[dmw56]

Added some door handles left over from the 34 Coupe.

Bling!

Built a driveshaft hoop since I already broke one UJoint. Used stuff I had laying around so it's pretty hefty.
Cut a 5" pipe section in half and used some old brackets that were lying around.

 

[earthman]

That driveshaft ain't gonna get outta that one

 

[dmw56]

Put a spreader bar in the front. Doing a bunch of little things while I wait for the carb to get rebuilt.

Still waiting for the mechanic to fix my 2 bbl Rochester carb for the second time. I did get it back once and it still leaked from the needle valve . Took it back a week and a half ago and haven't heard back from him except when I had to text him for an update! So he's had it over a month now!
I seem to have the worst luck with mechanics and body shops! I try to do most of it myself so I don't have to deal with this but I can't do everything.
Take deep breath or hit! Rant over!

Put door cards on the doors. I did 3/4 cards because the seat goes into the doors about 3".
I used some promotional ponchos from the Albuquerque Isotopes aka the Mariachis.

That's pretty snazzy!

 

[earthman]

That is what i like to see. So much more fun to use your own original touches. Everyone in Albuquerque will smile and comment when they see it.

 

[bob w]

Did you get the carb back?
