Had a good week and I am making good progress still a long way to go. Made a huge improvement to the dash but you have to look closely.

It started like it was last running this morning instead of last millennium. So far it's running really nice considering its long hibernation. Idle is nice and smooth and it transitions fairly nice. I still need to fill and bleed the brakes but I may drive it around the block this weekend.

It's really looking good on the outside now. Amazing what a bit of love and care does.

Final progress for the year I think.

New used hood and installed gas prop rods. Grill and front bumpers done, bunch of little stuff finished up. If it stays warm I may be able to get the floors done but I doubt it till spring.

Wow, Grand Forks has not changed a bit. Still an awful naked place.

The little car is really looking nice. What a great find.
