Right, so a wildly old thread, but I was posted to Singapore shortly after putting the girl in for a cosmetic overhaul...she got the full work up so doors now close (mostly), paint is shiny and she looks mean standing still...which is usually what she does. I'm back in (West U) Houston and starting to work through the storage bugs. E-10 fuel is not nice when left to sit for a couple years, but have had some seals replaced and tank polished. Trying to get the tuning right (thinking of going to electronic ignition...any thoughts?) and replacing starter solenoid tomorrow (left side stud too short on the one I bought at o'reilly's today). Bit of a list of honey-do's from when I bought her still and some new ones as dry rot took hold while in storage, but keen to get this thing on the road properly. What I'd really like to ask is what those in Houston have done to theirs, whether rest-mod or outright restoration, so I can figure a plan with mine. I'm tired of paying a garage to 'sort of' get mine going only to have to go back the next week...i could be expecting too much, but i don't think i am considering the posts i read and envy.
Anyhooters....long and short is, who's first to accept my invitation for a beer? I know I've seen an uncut blue with white top rolling around my neighborhood!
