Missing my "fix" of your restoration of a great 300 Deluxe.

I apologize, never realized i would be a situation where anyone would find what I do that interesting.

That said its spring, gotta take care of things around the house and yard first. Car frame is mostly done and its now back to body work and small parts work sanding and painting.

I have actually been just wrapped up in the human are of learning, trying, failing, trying some more and finally learning just enough about holley and quadrajet chromating to be dangerous. Im very driven and I wont settle for kinda right although the process to do it is quite involved and very process driven. Ive attached a few pictures of one of my first full carbs I have done to try out my skills. This is a 69 z28/lt1 holley. I just realized today that the base plate and throttle shaft is wrong so I found another laying around to make it a complete correct carb. Plan is to sell it as I picked it up with a some other carbs like a 70 l78 carb I got for my dad.

At the risk of getting too much honest feedback, any constructive comments?

Looks pretty good to me. I'd love to be able to do that. Maybe when I get my shop finished and I'm retired I can play around with it some.
