Re: K1's build thread

progress up to tonight

Camaro tank hooked up and filled with gas
Bumpers mounted up again
Windshield removed...but we couldn't get the new one in (calling in the pros to install it tomorrow...learned that lesson the hard way)
Carb removed to be rebuilt (broke fuel line from pump in the process, fitting was seized to the carb)
mounted and balanced tires onto 2 new rims (other two still on original steelies for now)
Installed sway bar brackets (bushings will arrive Thursday/Friday to complete the install)
discovered pinhole rust/thin spots in the headboard I was going to install while stripping it...it's not salvageable



Tomorrow's agenda (weather permitting, rain is forecasted)

Rebuild carb
Modify repo door locks (FYI these don't work with original handles, you'll need to grind the wings down to size)
Swap out ignition cylinder
Remove in cab tank
Vac advance hose replacement
Steering wheel repair
Turn signal switch install
Wire up Camaro tank sending unit to gauge cluster
Windshield install

If all of that gets done or I hit a snag/need a change of pace I can do some body work on my passenger rear fender, tailgate, or bedsides
