just a blink..

Well cant believe were back to were we started, feels like for ever when your in the thick of it and just a blink at the end, isn't that life in general.. had some trouble with the doors as was expected but a little help from a friend and some pushing and scratching they come out okay. door lines are pretty close and all handles and catchers working sweet. could not open or close before without great force, how people live with such difficulties makes laugh. but to their defence all the adjustment screws were rounded out, off or seized..so it was a huge job to get right in the end. also put some new door catchers in not to difficult. only problem with the door are the new door rubbers, no way they are going to close with them on. going to find a smaller seal as i only keep the top half and cut the bottoms off. really no compromise if you want the doors to look straight. thanks to vintage customs for their door seal vids..such a great help when your stuck. check out his you tube site http://www.youtube.com/user/vintagecustoms?feature=results_main
i have moved on from the body work to the engine...arrr another painful exercise . fuel wasn't flowing so after some testing at both ends of the fuel line and turned out to be a blocked fuel sender in the tank. photo says it all! last night set the timing again and checked all plugs and got some bang and pop but no go. drained battery again so on the charger but just didn't have time today or tonight so may be tomorrow.. will hopefully put a video of the girl running good or bad soon...
