Well... got a couple of things knocked out tonight. I forgot how much of a pain it is to get the front end up in the air. Got it up and figured I'd figure my horn issue out. Figured that out easy enough just a bit of corosion on the terminals, cleaned up and horn works great again. Pulled the spindle off and adjusted the shims to hopefully get a bit of negative camber into it. Took it for a spin and it seems better. Doesnt seem to turn as fast to the left anymore. Still pulls a bit to the left but I will address that another evening.
Some pics from tonight.

Damn. thats a lot of work just to get it off the ground :(

Figured since somethings actually gotten done on the car maybe I should post a litle update.
Car hasnt moved but maybe 3-4 time since I moved in Sept 08. Lack of motivation probably the biggest thing, but there were several other factors involved. Life changed somehow, not exactly sure how, but what was once fun wasnt anymore for whatever reason. Anyways last October tried to finish moving everything out of the Garage so I had some workspace again. I guess when I put the Stabil in the gas before we moved I didnt use enough because the car was getting no fuel. so i sat in the middle of the garage while we worked. Got a compressor for Christmas so that helped clear all the gunk outta the lines and got it running again. Well a couple weeks before the Classic figured I'd go through it with the hopes of bringing it out. No go. Finally after a few weeks of racking my brain figured the carb was gunked out. Rebuilt it Saturday night, and then found out the way I had modified my bottle brackets would let the nitrogen bottle set in the car right. Figured Momumental is a couple of weeks away so I'll just try to make that..
Enough of my rambling. Hope everyone is doing well. Here are some pics.
