I agree, that is my strategy I think. And the welds will be contained on the fender side, will look cleaner and better overall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great idea! On my way to buy the gallon jug now, I hear the hardening additive is optional! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Found a nice hack patch from a PO under my battery tray! Looks like a chunk of galvanized sheet metal cut and caulked/glues/screwed. Obviously that is coming out. Need some advice on repair strategy!?!? Cut out bad section and replace or just replace that inner front fender apron as a whole...

I have my passenger seat out and about to cut our floor pans on my passenger side. I can take some pics and measurements when I get home if that helps? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks fantastic btw! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you get the master body bolt kit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info! This car is not a concours restoration, she is going to me a mostly original restomod with a few safety and convenience feature upgrades. I am trying to keep stuff close to original, and would prefer to not coat every fastener in black if I can help it. :)

What color/finish are these bolts in the apron near battery and solenoid supposed to be? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update! She Runs! Please watch, feedback welcome! Backfire was caused by combination of ignition timing being off and major vacuum leak at the PCV valve. I regrouped and tracked down any extraneous vacuum leaks and then started tackling the ignition system. The cap, rotor, wires, and plugs...

Thanks! Two day soak with PB Blast and intermittent gentle love strokes with a 2lb dead blow hammer and she loosened right up. Patience is the key with those situations! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update! Main culprit for backfire was PCV valve and epic vacuum leak from the hose. Once I capped that off and set the choke up, she ran a lot better. In course of tracing the fuel issues, I discovered lots of issues with ignition system. Going to pause on more carb adjustments and pivot to...

Update; I pulled off PCV hose and put a vacuum cap on the port on base of carb. That would be most obvious vacuum leak. I looked over my build instructions again and I think I put a gasket on Venturi bolt that sits over check ball and weight that wasn't supposed to be there. I pulled off that...

Thanks for the info. I had rags and fire extinguisher on standby, good call on 5 gal bucket... Carb wasn't bead blasted. Soaked in cleaner overnight, scrubbed down real well and sprayed with Eastwood carb renew. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also, I do not have the solenoid connected or the choke setup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Turned idle/air 1/4 turn each out and tried again. A few tiny "sputtering" out of the carb she ran for about 30-45 seconds but died again and shot some flame out of top of carb again. Doesn't look like fuel is pooling inside manifold like last night. Here is a photo of fuel level right after...

Thanks guys. I replaced also all the vacuum hoses since they were a mess. The plates and throttle shaft were pretty tight fit in and out. I was really thorough on keeping stuff clean! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey crew. 71, H code, Fmx, 2v, 2100 with electric solenoid. Car is in beginning stages of resto and tackling getting her running better. The car did run prior. Rubber hoses were trashed and leaking gas around base gasket and air horn. A vacuum gauge showed between 12 and 14.5 inches of vacuum...

What is the proper method for inspecting them, what should I look for? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
