opened up that beige rusted hood and found the interior metal of that hood to be PERFECT! perfectly smooth, perfect paint, perfect metal. not sure why the outer skin rusted so badly at the leading edge.


Dude... I told you... it's JUST the hood! Laughing

Actually, I thought you'd never get it open after using the hole in the hood catch for the hook to drag it up on the trailer. Rolling Eyes Laughing

nah... you can have them Wink

today was a big day at Casa de Fye. I got the left side of the garage organized and rolled Beige into the space to start converting to carbs and generally clean up the car. I've been told the front beam is toast, but we will deal with that later.

Herr Tram, what is the German word for Beige? Since Savannah is already someone else's car's name, I figured I'd use some form of the word beige.

I should be able to get my carbs, fuel pump, & distributor installed either tomorrow or Friday... Then, I'll cross my fingers and see if I can get it to fire. Could be an easy runner, or it could all go wrong... Pray
