Was making good progress, had plumbed fuel system, gotten the car running, swapped brakes, made new brake lines, swapped shocks, front suspension, 9" guts, seats, shifter, wheels, hood, but then ran into rust under the windshield.
So I moved it from my house on the North side of Chicago to a buddy in Mt. Prospect who fixed it up.
Got it home, have been working through a list of final items which included cooling issues. Car is currently with a buddy who is working on cooling system and will do a final go over of the wiring.
I have driven the car an hour straight but it was running warm the whole time.
Goal is a rowdy cruiser that runs low 8s.
I'd be very interested in a grump lump hood if one comes up, I might even get a set of Cragars for this car.
