worked on a buddies 77 TA this weekend. Most of my sanding got done. Maybe tonight.


also got my carb back from the Carb Shop. He told me the secondaries will be fun  for me and left a surprise i'll find once I hit the gas. We shall see. He said guys who run q-jets and had them worked from original settings know what he's talking about.

Fired right up. I habe never used a q-jet but this fired right up and went to a nice idle. I didn't touch anything.

Car is turning out SUPERB!

That color KILLS!  I knew I had seen it somewhere.... namely on my brother-in-law's Corvette.

Eye on the prize man!  You're almost there!

Looks beautiful Justin!! I love the color, nice choice! I haven't been on here for a while so I haven't seen the progress until now. Looks like everything is coming together, I'm so happy for you! :)
