Worked with it a bit today. The lift at the farm is jacked up and pouring hydraulic fluid all over the place so that needs to get fixed. Fired right up, mellowed out after a few minutes and took her for a 2 miles spin. That front end needs to come down a couple inches, figured out how the composite transverse spring adjusts. Got up to about 205 degrees then realized the electric fan had no juice. Found the loose wire and hooking to the alternator. Much more sorting needed and I need to get it in the air. And I saw a fucking mouse in it run out from under the dash!

My neighbor had one of the pace car editions. I wanna say it was a 76 but he eventually sold it. He also has a 78 bronco ranger that he did a frame off restoration on and some orange ass jeep that I believe originally came with denim seats and a denim top.

Nice car OP, love the big blocks, they made the floorboards heat up but it was, mostly, worth it. Ideally, one of each, LOL. LT1 and a tri power BBC.
I have had good luck on the mouse issue with a product called "Rodent Sheriff" from the jungle website. I have several projects Small spray bottles, seems to be super concentrated peppermint or something like that...and the rodents don't like it at all. Might be worth a try. |
