Finally sorted my oil lines, made a new center return fitting and machined some out of the plate as my last attempt was to bulky and fouled on the power steering box.

pullin' the original tank from my 65. Getting it ready for the new AMD '63 tank. Can't be worse that what I got!
 
musta ran her like a bat outa hell, to loose the dogdish

I wish that were the case! My wife yelled at me for doing a burn out last weekend in front of the neighborhood with the kids in the car :icon_fU:

I have had the front tires off the past week. The 4 extra redlines are sitting in my garage collecting dust, they are a b**** to get off. Lol

Messing with the brakes... again... best they have ever felt but still have 1 line not perfect, so I'll fix it.
 
DentalDart is taking Donut orders. Text him with your order. I'll take a dozen glazed. :)
 
Exhaust manifolds cleaned and installed today. Dropped one manifold nut into one head pipe, and the other one is not lining up right anymore. I guess I will have to pull them off.

Brake line fitting at the prop valve is leaking. So I made a new line from prop valve to passenger caliper... these flare surfaces look pretty damn nice, it better not leak...

Managed to fish out the manifold nut with a couple of rare earth magnets taped to the end of my flexible grabber. Pried the drivers side pipe into place and now I have enough clearance on the torsion bar. Everything is now buttoned up underneath.

Got the "Golden Oldie" out of hibernation. Checked all the fluids and tire pressures. Let it warm up for a few minutes, then started the 2021 cruising season with a few miles around the neighborhood. Found a beautiful '71 SuperBee 2 streets over (not sure if it lives there or was just visiting).

Do you have the 15 inch rims on yet?
 
My car was apparently painted with the engine in the car and the engine compartment was a couple different colors. I wet sanded the entire compartment and sprayed color matched red. So far it looks good might need another coat. I'm happy with the results. Pictures are before and after

I have a boring job so in my mind today I’m installing a pro shift, reverse pattern shifter. After that I’ll install a fresh Holley 750 dp
LOL
