My '41 Ford PU build!

[Tripper]

Finally got fuel pressure issue straightened out, got shifter working properly & am tying up wiring to make sure it doesn't get rubbed anywhere, making sure all grounds are good, installing seat belts & am nearing blast off for maiden voyage! This sucker's finally gonna see the light of day... yipppeee!!!

Whoops... also fixing to put the Bonehead's bottle opener on... can't forget the important stuff!!!

Good luck! I'm ready to see this thing in person.

One step forward... one step back! My fuel delivery probs returned & are either a clogged idle circuit or a bad accelerator pump on the primary carb (leaning towards a clog). I also jacked the truck up to work on some wiring underneath & when I took the jack stand out & let it back down the door closed slightly & the jack stand caught on the bottom of the door. Luckily it didn't screw up the outer lip but made a mess of the inner part of the door at the bottom. Just what I needed... I cry!!!

How many demons can one truck have!!? Geeesh.. keep workin at it, the day'll come.

Got the primary carb back from Vintage Speed. The brass nipple I used for the fuel inlet was too long & had blocked off the fuel flow. Charlie fixed it & I have it back in my grubby lil paws as we speak. I'll be in the garage all weekend & this cooler weather here is perfect! Can't wait!

I think that may require video.

EDIT: The roasting part, not the door latches.

Duct tape the camera to the dash or door. Or get a neighbor to ride shotgun. We will also accept curbside video.

If none of that will work for you, get in front of a cop car and smoke 'em off then ask for a copy of his dash cam video.

Devil,
I love those pliers! Eastwood sells them & I see them at most of the big shows where cats have those big tool displays!
