Sorry that I did not make it by to lend a hand. Sounds like you had a crew though. I actually worked on installing my 1835 in the 66 today. I just need to sew up a few things and see if I can get it to fire up. I am hoping to have it ready to go by next weekend.

Thanks everyone for coming out. We got the fuel lines hooked up. We figured out that I did a few things wrong :x :help:

Got the new throttle cable hooked up. We removed the windshield and then realized that I had the wrong one to replace it. So, if anyone has the windshield for a 65, I'm interested.
We didn't get the car running, but we did get some things done.

Thanks again Ethan and Courtney for letting us use your place to work on the cars.


Bo, I'll have your windshield later today with new cal rubber. The lower seat brace will more likely be here today as well. The dash I will cut it out for you sometime next week if I can. Its yours for free bro..anything else please let me know as this 66 is getting cut up, and most if not all is going to the scrap yard. Do you still need that quarter panel??
