OK Guys...here it is from the beginning. The day I got it in I threw some wheels on it to feel good. Then I was going to keep it original 'till I figured out that going downhill with the wind behind me, and my foot on the floor, I get get MAYBE 45 or 50......Well that did it for me. The project begins.....
I hear you! That's what I didn't like either. As it turns out, there are a few ways to go to correct this problem. (One or two that also take fuel consumption into the mix.) There was a good idea about the remote fill for the master being put behind the seat... There was another good idea about a "low fluid sensor being wired in... Whatever- you have got a shop space to DIE for!!! Thanks! Now I gotta go clean the drool of my keyboard!!!
I hear ya Blindman but I still like going along 45 to 50 mph with my original 6 volt, original drivetrain. Keep being told I stupid for not changing it But I Love the old girl just the way she is You guy's keep posting this stuff and soon I will have a crate 502 0r something sitting in the garage. I agree with Zig Nice Shop Keep the photos coming
I Hear ya Steve O For years I have been restoring things back to original....mostly old foreign stuff.....but I get a kick out of seeing what I can do with stuff. I don't hold it against anyone for keeping things stock ! (But I have been told...."Anyone can restore one....It take a real man to cut one up!!") If it works, don't fix it!!
Fair!!!!!! This just ain't fair!!! I got to work in a tent, in the front yard, with a dirt floor, in the cold, with rain dripping through that cheep taiwan plastic, with no air flow, a board to crawl around on, no lights, jack stuck in the sand and want move, scratching in the sand for the bolt I droped, etc, etc, moan and groan AND YOU GOT A SHOP LIKE THAT!!!! We might just have to exclude you from our old poor mans club. OR MOVE IN WITH YOU AND TAKE TURNS USING YOUR SHOP. Man, that's fine TB'sD
Just for the record The pics that are taken in front of the gray house is my house. I have a small 2 car garage there. One of my closest friends and I got together and built that BIG shop. Trust me, If I could have afforded to build the big place all for myself I would have! But I share that big space with him and all his projects. It is 40 x 60 with a full bomb shelter basement. AND IT IS FULL!! That is why I had to hang mine from the ceiling for the winter!!!....(ALthough it beats a tent TB'sD!!...I've been there too!!)
