Not much accomplished this week. Got the upholstery pulled out just to clean everything up Also, my striper showed up today. I didn't realize how much better the pinstripe made the car look.

Actually I planned to shot a video of it running yesterday, but I'm still having a little problem of getting the carbs to idle after it warms up. It cranks right up and runs fine when the choke is working, but when it warms up and the choke goes off it wants to die. As soon as I get that worked out, I'll post a video and let everyone hear it run. It does sound pretty neat!

Sounds great and looks great, would have been good to hear a couple raps of the throttle, but maybe you are still breaking her in.

Can't wait to see it run. Hopefully you can put the camera in the passenger seat so we can all get a drive down the road.

Once I get my front discs setup and get Mr. Gaydosh to put the tune on mine, I will try setting up a camera in the pass. seat and take everyone for a ride.

Keep us posted.

Mark
