71 Duster 360 (new project)

fed ex showed up early today...before noon....guy must have got lost...

note to self...when installing hose end on to steel braided line..never hold the fitting between your legs while you are using a box end ratchet wrench and swing the wrench towards your family jewels....needed to take the full 5 minutes they give ya in the UFC went kicked in groin ...

as you can see the fuel lines are done....carb is hanging out in air...worked inside car..got a old instrument panel installed...nothing behind it...all the gauges are gone...closed up heater and radio holes in dash...gotta get rid of that ugly dash pad...got voltmeter installed...and wired...

did a couple of things this morning while waiting for FedEx guy....changed out pushrods in the 360...had 3/8 diameter pushrods...changed them out for 5/16...and readjusted valves...and poured 5 qts of 10w-30 in the engine...turn oil pump over with speed handle ....squired oil out the hole where the oil pressure gauge goes...so she got oil pressure..going to hook up a gauge in morning..i needed a fitting...and prime motor...

I guess I can put the door panels back on...got new clips for them...car came with only one driver side rear door panel...picked up a set on ebay used...but they look pretty good.
