Your shop looks like an attic. My statement wasn't meant to sound degrading, I was just making an observation. It is nice by the way.

It's the room over the garage that I use for motorcycles and now parts
Thanks

Yeah... how come you're not putting rest of the interior back in yet? it's not even time consuming besides the dash.

I have yet to restore/recover the seats, and without the front seat there more room to work. The column may go in this weekend??

KeePat....

Love the T/A Library you got going here.... 


Are the parts in alphabetical order or is there a unique filing system (jk).

Looks outstanding! 

I know it’s a mess and it drive nuts! Next car I’ll try to do a better job keeping the parts organized!  :)
Thanks!

Doh, Pat. You done slipped up. That's like looking behind the curtain of the Wizard of Oz. We all thought every part was new or restored, cataloged as to the order of reinstallation and neatly stored waiting to go back on the car. j/k  ;)

It may look a mess but I bet you know EXACTLY where everything is.  We all wish we had as much spare room.

Today I clear coated the fuel tank and Kurt helped install it.

With a little tweaking all the new lines fit great! I just need to change a few clamps to the tower type so it will look original.

Again outstanding, did you put down a clear base over the tank before you cleared it or go right over the tank itself?

I just cleared over the tank itself so you can still see the stamping marks on the tank.
Thanks!

 Today I used a cutoff saw to cut through carrier and the spyder gears to remove the shafts. Somehow the bolt that holds the shaft pin in sheared allowing the shaft pin to spin and weld itself to the spyder gears. Not fun!
