My interior is gold and a pearly light gold, No white at all inside :thumrigh:
I do smoke in her with windows down and she could use a wipe down :thumrigh: The camera is set for more picture and the Video is low quality and the sound is good to hear the bugs and birds outside :eye:

I could not wait to let all the folks see I got everything changed out and wired in :thumrigh: The heater hoses tried to whip my @ss but just a small amount of brake fluid and they slid right on Scott :thumrigh:
As you can tell she is a quite runner and I revved it one time as I made my approach back to the nest, you can barely here it. Just the way I like it :hello2:
 
Dam, good to see Victoria up and running again.:hello1:

Take some pics of the engine, so whe can see your progress !

PS: Mike dont use brake fluid, it will eat the rubber.
Next time you do hoses, use a squirt of WD-40. :thumbup:

I sure will Johnny, I bout the best heavy duty hoses and put them in boiling water and greased them down and I still could not get the on the engine side, I used a rag and just used a little and they finely stretched on.
I almost threw them in the woods one day, My neck and shoulder was on fire trying to get the good hoses on (red ones) I was going to buy the black softer ones till a motorcycle mec. told me to use just a small amount and they should slide right on, I should have tried wd40 first before I put Vaseline on them I guess :thumrigh:
I will post up the pictures after the new alternator is installed and wires loomed up :glasses2: It was a good day getting her fired up and moved back in here nest where I will finish things up :thumrigh:
I am sure this seems like an easy task for most folks.
It was for me back just a few years ago :thumrigh:

I promise :hello2: The trunk was full of tools and parts :eye:
And I was hot and soooo happy to move her back in here nest to get loomed up and a new alternator put on :thumrigh:
I just grabbed my camera and fulfilled my promise of a Video of her running and moving again for all the folks that help me locate parts :thumrigh:
I was so hot I said the old saying wrong :!: If you can't find'em grind'em :laughing: Happy fathers day strongend to me and everyone ells :thumrigh:
 
Thanks for the memories Mike, Victoria's interior is the same as my Mom's '66, that ride made me feel like a kid again, seeing that view and that vinyl seatback.

Congrats on your progress.
