More progress on the paint today. They have been sanding and blocking getting ready to spray. Still have a ways to go, but at least progress is being made.
Working on fixing this:


Also found this. Don't think we are going to cut it out, but rather will grind it down and fill it the best we can. It's not as bad as the other side my body guys are pretty confident they can stop it.

Very sexy from this angle....as well as all the other angles.

In other news I am still working on the electrical/engine stuff. It was not running as well as I thought it should, so to eliminate spark issues I ordered a used MSD dizzy off of eBay, as well as a MSD Blaster SS coil. To top it off I also found some MSD 8.5mm wires, the kind you cut to your own length. I hate the look of the wires going over the valve covers, so I opted for the build your own kit, which I found a brand new kit on Craigslist for $50.
The MSD Ready to Run Billet Distributor was $60....SCORE.
Oh, and a battery. You think this will do the job? Only the best for my baby.

On other other news, I decided to take a look at the carb too. Good thing I did...it was a little messy inside. (sarcastic tone)

There was about 3/16" of jelly in the bottom of my float bowl. !$@%# ethanol.
I completely tore the whole thing apart until nothing more would come off and boiled it in a solution of water, degreaser, and lemon juice. After that I went at it with a wire brush and rinsed again. I was surprised how well it worked. Then I blew out every passage I could find with carb cleaner and compressed air until happy. I found that the accelerator pump passage was 100% clogged. Now it flows freely.

Tomorrow I will try to fit the MSD dizzy and new plug wires. All in all a good week.
