We are up for a new season on the road with the 67. The insurances is now on for the summer, but unfortunately it is supposed to rain cats & dogs all weekend, so I don’t think that we will be leaving the dryness of the garage just yet.
As usual, I was planning to work on the car all winter, but didn’t do as much as I wanted. Here is what I did:
Still on the to-do list for this summer
On the nice to do list
The car is going to the shop on Tuesday so they can hopefully fix the first 3 items on the to-do list for the summer. The rest is fairly simple to do, just have to find the time to do it.
As usual, I was planning to work on the car all winter, but didn’t do as much as I wanted. Here is what I did:
- Installed B&M Super Chief
- Repaired the roof vent (replaced the motor)
- Installed a center console
- Painted the interior windshield trim
- Replaced the dash mount switch panel
- Replaced the master cylinder and one of the break lines that broke in the process
- Replaced all but one of the brake fluid bleeder valves. The last one was so rusted that I could not replace it.
- Replaced the main wire from the alternator to the starter
Still on the to-do list for this summer
- Replace the break cylinder on the front driver side
- Fix the leaking power steering
- Replace the rear axle bearings
- Install a speaker behind the grill for the Federal Interceptor siren
- Find the proper gasket for the roof vent
- Pretty-up the wiring under the hood
- Fix two areas of the frame where I found rust holes
- Get the car undercoated
- Re-upholster the two pieces under the rear corner windows
- Re-cock all around the fiberglass roof
On the nice to do list
- Replace the headliner. I have the material, just need to get it installed.
