May 1st - 2nd
I took the last day of April off to get some work done at home. Spread some dirt, installed my well pump, cleaned up the shop a little. I did this so I could really devote the weekend to the car. In the grand scheme of things I didn't get too much done, but it is important work. I remembered feeling a rough edge under the fuel filler so I wanted to grind to off. Then I remembered to take a picture of the option code marking of my rear assembly. N14 is the code for factory side pipes.

Then I spent some time installing a new speedometer cable. Only to find out the one I just ordered I didn't need and actually couldn't use as one as a special one came with my new transmission. Next I replaced the clutch rod boot.

Next I installed my new brake and clutch pedal pads and then proceeded to lower the body back on the car. While I was at it I installed new rivets on the high beam dead pedal. and installed a new rivet at the mouth of the tunnel for the transmission cable. I took the rear wheels off as it makes the #3 body mounts much easier to work on. I didn't really get any pictures of this as it is a little tricky without the distraction of trying to capture everything. So I guess lets fast forward though lowering body and setting the 4 center mounts with the poly bushing and 1 shim each. Then using a disks and spacers for the outer 4 to get them close. Then applying 47 lbs ft of torque to all 8 bolts. After than I needed to get the fenders and hood set. So I finished installing the hinges and gathering up all the shims and such. Then set the fenders, installed the hood and finally put the rear wheels back on.
