MN69Grande 203 Report post Posted April 10, 2017 Started her up and started the process of tuning the Carb after taking it apart and making some changes over the winter. Hopefully She'll be on the road next weekend at least for a short test drive. Also cleaned up some of the wiring for the Gear Vendors. 1 RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zach69grande 25 Report post Posted April 15, 2017 Fired her up, cleaned some dust off, ran over the list of stuff I need to do buy and fix... Its not much... but maybe this year I can get brake lines, fuel lines, suspension, and paint prep taken care of.. Axle was rebuilt last year, all the suspension parts are ready to go, just need to finish up a little bit of paint underneath first... just a few more years...

LoneWolf2U 136 Report post Posted April 16, 2017 Mike. Don't take this wrong but its just an ol mans observation. Why didn't you paint the backing plate while it was completely torn apart? All those pretty new parts put on need a clean background. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From one ol man to another, once I cleaned them up there did not appear to have any paint on them so I left them natural bare metal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes they look great. And love the cragars. We can't get Cooper Cobras in the U.K., just BFGs and Hercules. 1 JayEstes reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
