Does that work then?
Last night was chilly here in the Kent and South East.
Today I had planned some garage time, but a text or two from mate Craig meant I had all the excuses needed so I could escape my place.
So up early, did some stuff here, then the hour drive to his place.
Got there at Chill -o- Clock but noticed his neighbour now has a 59 Sedan Delivery.
Plan was to work on the 47 Aerosedan as some of the jobs needed two sets of hands or a bit of strength.
But before that we needed to go to his Unit to fetch some parts and so I could get a good look at the 49 Chevy truck he had bought for Lorraine for her birthday.
First thing to charm me.......
400cc of brutal Japanese motivation.
Then about 30 minutes with the truck. It was cold in the unit, but I like it.
First four handed job.....
Refit new fuel tank and straps.
Every day is a school day.
Simplest tool solution.
New inline fuel filters with new Jubilee clips and hose. Plumbers pipe cutting tool. Perfect.
I have seen some championship winning bodies and redneck fixes.
This has to be one of the best.
Hole cut in the rust free floor and a fan mounted under passenger seat.
After the tank, adjusting the handbrake, some fuel in the tank and an attempt to get the 6volt car started and fresh fuelsucked through from the new tank.....failed.
Battery needs to be charged.
But we ended up removing g brake, clutch pedals and the actuating arms as the newly fitted master cylinder caused it all to foul on the firewall.
So we needed to bend them in the vice.
Much of the work is done in very limited space.
By 4pm we had lunch and called it a day.
I will go back tomorrow early so we can bleed the brakes and do some other jobs, before maybe getting the car off the trailer and onto the road for a first test.....l
Fingers crossed.
