Here you go.......



As pictured in my posts from back in 2020, I had Fred Ballard rebuild the original fuel pump, White Post rebuilt the original proportioning valve, wheel cylinders, and master cylinder. I reinstalled all of that along with the original brake hoses, radiator hoses, and correct reproduction belts.

Here are couple of the interior as well



The next thing on my list is to clean the chassis and engine compartment again. I've learned some new techniques and found a couple of different products for that type of work. When I tackle that, I am going to revisit the evap hoses. I recall the thread when Bent Wheel Bob restored the black 72 Formula, he documented his work on replicating the ink stamps on the rubber evap hoses.

I feel a need to give a shout out to Chris Eagle. Your work has stood the test of time. Certainly, this was a good car to start with. Chris, your eye for detail and patience to get the job done correctly is reflected on how the car runs and drives.
