It was a beautiful day yesterday so I drove the car around the block in my sub-divsion. It felt good! But, under acceleration I heard a scrubbing noise. I couldn't pinpoint the souce but it may be exhaust rubbing on the drive shaft. The noise quit when I let up on the gas and it doesn't make it when I rev the engine with the car stopped. I'll crawl under the car and see if anything is rubbing.
And, my fuel gauge is pegged out to the full side when the ignition is on and drops to just under the full mark with the ignition off. And, the temp gauge does not move much above the first mark. I know the gauges are good because Pete Serio built them. Could it be a bad ground? The oil pressure gauge works. I spent three hours putting the door and wheel well trim on and drilling holes for the passenger side front and rear lower fender moldings. I installed the front ones but can't figure out how to install the trim clips for the rocker and rear extension moldings.
I'll update totals next week but it will probably be only adding the 3 hours labor.
