Just an update on my progress

[pawpawpatch]

Hello again all ! Yep im still here. I check in nearly everyday and search the threads for help. This place is a library of knowledge. Ok heres where we are...took the carb completely apart cleaned it motor runs good now. I drove it about 5 miles (no brakes) shifts good sounds good hopefully all good. Pulled the mastercylinder out and ordered kit from napa. Completely stripped the interior. I bought a sheet of luanne and cut my door panels out. My daughter took them home with her yesterday, called me tonight and said she was thru with the back door panels and was working on the arm rests. Shes doing it in a cow hide print I havnt seen them yet either! Dont nobody snicker or im gonna lose it ! She said the seats are going to be dark brown with the cow hide strip down the middle of them. Ok movin on.I have some sheet metal work to do on the drivers side floorboard and some around the trunk area where the latch is. I decided to stick with the 6 volt system and rewire it all, cause if you just bend a wire a little bit the cloth falls off and your looking at a naked wire, plus some wires are burnt up anyway. Teresa (wife) and Jamie (daughter) want me to paint it dark brown and paint the front doors white with a gold star in the middle and write dirt road patrol on it. Oh and a red flashing light on top. They say it just looks like an ol timey cop car lol. Well thats where i am now and still lovin her. Brian

Sounds like good progress with a plan. It's always good to have an upholsterer in the family and the wife's blessings. I also have both. And I definitely relate to your wiring woes. Am also doing a complete rewire. As others have said, how about some pics?
