I'm a little tired this morning (just finished a 5-night run of shows in my other life as a musician) but very excited for what will be going on over the next few months. Had a nice chat with Hap yesterday, and wrote the big check to get started on Tunebug's new 1275 motor. Here's what Hap will be doing for me -- I'm sure he'll correct me if I miss anything.
<ul>[*]Normal rebuild bits and painting[*]AE 21253 pistons[*]APT ND 276 cam and matching lifters[*]Ported head[*]ARP hardware where appropriate[*]Vernier timing gears[*]Rebuilt H2 carbs[*]New clutch[/list]
I'll be making calls to Advanced Distributors for a dizzy rebuild, PeterC for shocks, and Tony for lots of parts as well. I'll need headers, rebuilt brake calipers, new fuel tank and lines, all sorts of bits. Worth every of the many pennies it will take.
It's been a busy winter so far with my music, and that's funding this round of improvements. Definitely been tiring (I've my regular day job at the school district as well) but worth it in the end. After many years of dreaming of cars, and 2 years of owning one that really wasn't drivable, I should be on the road by summer. Like many of us, I've got limited financial means and had to make some sacrifices to make this happen. I think Tunebug's going to be something special, can't wait to take him for a spin. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
