Adam's Scamp

Got some more done today. Front seat belts are in. Ive had them for ever just never got around to installing them. I used my soldering iron to melt the holes in the carpet for the bolts. It worked raelly well.

picked up a driveshaft for the 7.25 for now. Put in some fresh u Joints and installed that but I need to find a second strap and a few bolts. Also drained the fluid from the 7.25 which turned out to be mostly water because of the missing filler cap. Filled it with fresh gear oil amd of coarse spilled some on the floor. Smells great.

Trans linkage is all hooked up. Its tight up there with the headers and cooler lines but I managed to squeeze my hands in there. Should be interesting trying to shift a reverse patern valve body on the column.

Tried to hook the pitman arm up to the center link but once the nut got some what tight the otman arms spins. Now I cant get the nut tight or off. I'll mess with that later.

I also hung the exhaust using a 3" kit that I had on the Barracuda. Amazingly enough it fit. Not great but its on there and I dont need to buy another. It sound really good with the 3" Delt flow 2 chambers and 3" tail pipes.

Now all that is left before I can drive it is redo the brakes ( 9" drums for now) a pair of rear tires, Havent decided what kind or size yet Pick up a oil pressure and water temp gauge and send the carb back to Demon Sizzler for a little more tweeking.

Its going to be a real pig with the 2.xx gears that are in it but at least it looks like it will be driveable in a month or so. Thats under a year to put the car together. Not bad.
