That’s Better 5


Well here is a better picture for those who aren’t on forums where such things already exist.  Not that it’s really a GOOD picture… but whatever.  The hood is up, and it is notable that perhaps the best thing that Paul did for me was throw spacers between the hood hinges and body, rather than between hood and hinge as I had.  That allows the hood to open wide and stand straight up without support.  Unfortunately this realization was found after a trip out onto the track without the hood pinned down.  There are some minor damages there.

I’ve been grinding pretty hard lately… but I did find time to make it out to the garage this morning and do some analyzing.  I am happy that my former project/parts car is still around.  It is true that this may have been a track dog at one point… but it is not that now.  I’ll be out when I can… but there are other priorities that demand some practicality… at least for the time being.

I am however looking forward to a yellow plate for 2010… even if a lot of labour is required prior.

    Yeah I’m pretty easy to please… and haven’t really found time to appreciate the cams etc yet.

    I’d like to get collector/vintage insurance… but word is that even this thing is too boroi as is.
