1972 Scamp "Smokey" - Saved From Wildfire
Remaining muffler went MIA in the mail, so I had to reorder another one. What a pain. Gave me a chance to focus on some other tasks. The X-pipe and hangars did show up and it fit very well.
Got my external oil filter all plumbed and insulated. Even with the TTI headers, it was super tight. All fit together really well, but very time consuming when you've got big hands. Used 10an lines. Made it so the filter is lower to prevent dry starts. That 51222R filter held 1.5qts of oil. Insane!
Also, that Ford video where they guy lost his brakes and wrecked, made me realize I needed to install my Parking Brake. So that's done. New cables and fittings. Very smooth now.
I also got the interior in. I still have to loom the wires and hide them, but it's all back together. It is actually very comfortable in there with the new seats.
Left to Do:
- Get alignment
- Bleed brakes (again)
- Wire the alternator
We close. Hopefully driving by next weekend
