We’ve actually done a few things post-show…nothing mind-blowing, but a renewed vigor to get things done goes a long way!
While we were at the show, we saw some neat ideas too, so the drive back was a series of discussions around what we wanted to change in our plan. We’ve done a bit of level-setting. We’ve regrouped. We’ve created revised lists. Now that we have four months till the next show, we’re slowing down a bit and taking stock of what we really want to get done prior to that.
The plan is to drive the car to the show, so the engine, front suspension and brakes are high on the priority list. Those need to get done first so that we can drive the car around some in order to be comfortable taking it on a trip.
Toward that end, we’ve dismantled the front suspension. The Gearhead has been pulling off parts to determine if that are still usable. If they are, I’m taking a grinder to them to clean them up a bit. Also, grinders are fun! If you don’t own one, please remedy that at your earliest convenience. The parts that I have done are nice and shiny, no more grime or caked-on dirt and grease.
The plan is to paint the inside of the engine bay white and the front suspension will get a coat of that as well just to jazz it up some (hence the other reason for the cleaning).
We have already gotten the spare tire mounted and balanced so that’s ready to get strapped into the trunk as well.
And we have all our parts ordered (motor mounts, anyone?) and on their way so once we have those, things will start to happen fairly quickly. Looking forward to its maiden drive around the block!
