Some updates

Life's been busy so the cars have, sadly, taken a back burner... until recently.

I'm having a friend build a lot of new billet aluminum parts for the wagon. Billet dash panel for the radio area, billet cover for the instrument cluster, billet vents to replace the old cracking plastic exterior vents, and a billet grille for the front. I can't wait to get 'em!

I've been having more wonky issues with the carburetor, the gas gauge is more misleading than ever, the front end pulls to the right and shakes occasionally, the clutch is almost completely toast, and one of the mounting studs on the bottom end of the exhaust manifold broke off, leading to a "massive exhaust leak."

Oh. And a while back, someone hit and ran on the front right fender. Lovely.

But I'm working on all that now. Clutch will probably go in later this month - it really has to or the car won't move much longer, and the manifold and carb should be getting serviced soon too. I found an interesting bit of information through the C.A.R.B. site saying that the Doug Thorley 513-Y headers for the 2TC motor are, in fact, C.A.R.B. exempt. So... I'll probably just get those instead of fixing the old beat-down exhaust manifold.
