Excellent.

That may make it easier for her to look over her right shoulder also.

Can I ask what gauge you used to fab up your seat brackets?

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

Absolutely.

David, They're just the mounts you buy from Kirkey. I believe they're 3/16.

Todd & Autumn,


RE: weeping seal on fuel tank bulkhead fitting



You might try a Stat-O-Seal instead the nylon or delrin type that you have been using. The SOS uses a built in neoprene (butyl - N) oring to a hardened steel washer. That is the same as required on AN bulkhead fittings. A bit pricey but very effective. Hope that helps.


Best to you both for your fun project.

I think the hose itself is leaking from when it was assembled, maybe I pinched something in there.

As with every week, my expectations of advancement are trampled by business as usual. BUT, as with every weekend, time is of the car variety... and this weekend we've enlisted a little help, so we hope to see great progress. Couple parts we we're waiting on didn't show up, but we did get the rest of our fasteners for weight bars, our Calvert weight box is here, new windshield came in, new fuel fitting to replace the leaker and a few nuts and bolts. I'll update progress throught the weekend.

Saturday is in the books. As mentioned we had some help today because we were working with glass. Takes forever to do stuff when theres a learning curve, made a couple mistakes, but we got it. There is a 2lb difference between the factory glass at 23lb. and the replacement at 21lb. Also worked on a battery hold down, glass trim, headlight buckets, grill and parking lights. More tomorrow.

Worked on the car a good bit today. Got a fuse so I could check the headlights, all good. Messed up on the templates for the rear firewall so had to start fresh with the upper panels, made some headway on that (Yes I know... I need Cleco tools). Checking to see what we have to do to get both thr Jr Dragster and the Nova in the trailer. More tomorrow...
