Well, another low productivity weekend... fueled the Fairlane and she would start and idle as before but still bog and die on acceleration. Popped the top off the carb (did you know you could start and run the engine with the top of the Autolite/Motorcraft 2 barrel carb off??) and have determined the issue is with the power valve, so I'll get a kit on order and then she should be good as new!!
On the Tomato, removed the earlier installed bracing and cut a piece of insulation to fit up against the cowl area and got it installed...
and then laid out my new firewall pad material and the old pad and template...
so I can get the new firewall pad cut and installed next weekend. Need to get my shears cleaned up and sharpened really well this week so they will cut the pad easily. A buddy with an upholstery shop said to bring them by and he would see what he could do for them.
I also installed the refurbished perimeter wiring retainer, the pedal pad and NOS stainless steel trim to the parking brake assembly...
The NOS brake release handle is due to arrive on Monday so I'll get that installed and the assembly greased up next weekend and ready to be rehung in the car.
Hope to also get the firewall pad cut and installed next weekend as well and perhaps have the Fairlane back up to normal!
Stay tuned to find out.....
