67 GTS 4-Speed: Daily Summer Driver
this past weekend I got a good amount done to the GTS! first on the list was to get the drive shaft in. I got the yoke off of the drive shaft that was in there and used a conversion joint to adapt to the new drive shaft. Went in with no problems. All that needs is more fluid in the rear and that is done.
I got the rear bumper chromed at tri city plating (they did an awesome job) and was able to install that as well! got the reverse lights in and connected
I saw that the tail pipes are not completely tight, but before I can do that I need to work out things with the gas tank. The strap bolt is contacting the pipe and needs to be addressed. Which hopefully isnt to bad, because the tank currently isnt centered so I should have room to move things around.
I installed a new proportioning valve from inline tube because the one on there just leaks like no one's business. Well the new one leaks just as bad... So I need to find a original one (so far no luck) or open up their valves and see if replacing the seals will do the trick. Hopefully I can get that done before I head home next.
I also got the front bumper and grille on!! damn it looks good to have a completed looking car
Cant get the best pictures as this thing is up against the short wall of the garage. That is going to change soon. I hope to get this leaking brake thing worked out, get the antenna in so I can get the splash shields and fenders buttoned up. Work out that clearance issue with the fuel tank hold down strap and the exhaust, get fluid in the rear, tires on, carpet in and at least one seat to take it out and see how well this thing works!!! so excited!!!
