Upholstery is going slow but it is still moving forward.

You have a lot of patience. As I have gotten older, I find I don't have the patience I used to.

Some health issues beyond his control have kind of forced my hand, but no I'm not normally very patient.

Still moving along, I have to drop some parts off yesterday and grabbed a few pictures.

Thank you guys, this has taken longer than it should have but now that it's back home at the shop I should be able to get it finished up soon. I have a few other cars and a pickup that I started while I was waiting for this one that I'll need to square up first but I'm hoping to get to drive this before the snow flies.

Thank you Keith..

I've been working through the struggles of a car sitting for a year without running.

The new fuel has hardened all the rubber seals in the carburetor and I'm rebuilding that now.

Then hopefully I can figure out if my smoking issues are related to the valve seals on the new cylinder heads or oil coming in on the bottom of the intake manifold gasket.

I had a valve stem fail on a test drive.

Oil was entering at the bottom of the intake manifold, I installed the thicker gaskets and so far so good.

Was able to take the car for a test drive into town and get some dinner

Took the car out for lunch and put a few more miles on it. I've been busy with a few other cars and haven't made time to take this out much.
