Worked on getting ready for this Saturdays trip. Mounted the rear jump racing seat for the grandson and put the 4 pt seat belt on. Replaced the rear axle vent tube with a much longer one (in case I get into some deep water). Lubed up the rear d/s, loaded my spare d/s assembly. Hug the spare tire, dug out my VS-17 panel top. Checked fluids, made cabin
reservations and putting it on the trailer tomorrow.

My first post to this thread,
Well, for reasons that i don't want to share...I finally fired up my 74 after sitting for three years.
Gas was bad, brakes were bad, battery was flat dead.
about two weeks ago, I dug it out...Jumped the battery and fired it up.
needless to say, it wasn't happy. test drive found the caliper stuck so I replaced them and then the rear cylinders...That was an episode! I will spare you the gory details.
Filled it up with premium after running the old gas out of it. Then the leaky carb had to be rebuilt..no biggie there.
Now going smoothly! A jaunt to the local DMV and I was back in business.

Last week I drove it into the woods..what a great day! Top off, Wife shotgun...We crept through a VERY overgrown tight trail on a mountain side..The trees were covering all view when it happened...
There was a tree hanging overhead over the road...covered by mega foilage.
I did not see it until it crashed through the windshield and brought the frame down to my steering wheel, Yep.
Got to welding it back together yesterday after trying to get some semblance of semi straight. got the glass back in and drove it today.

Finally ordered an edelbrock calibration kit that arrived today. Leaned it out a bit with different metering rods and changed the step up springs from 5# to 8#. Running even better now and cleared that little stumble up I had letting out first. Now it's pretty crisp!

Save some metal for paint Ken :D

Did grill & tailgate letters, undecided if I like em or not, definitely an improvement though!

Found the source of my liquidy explosion the other day. The good news?... I thought I had a water pump replacement in my not to distant future.
