another day in the shop !  got the front brakes pretty much done minus a few small parts like bearing dust covers and brake hoses . also got the tie rods on , could have put the centerlink on that I have but i didn't like the first brand i got so i ordered another one from Rare parts . As i get the chassis closer i,m finding out all the parts i,m missing .

Dear John, Chuck, Jim, and mid-60s Buick caregivers,

Congratulations John on finally getting those items from Legendary!  Given the tenuous state of the supply chain, you can never be too sure of getting anything until it is in your hot little hands!

Cheers, Edouard

small update on the covert basket case . my main machine shop guy got my cyl heads all finished up , got the pistons and rings in after waiting all summer so its all ready for the final hone job to get the piston to cylinder wall clearance set . just waiting for bearings to show up then the assembly can get balanced .
Still waiting for my 1st set of carbs to get done but my 2nd set of carbs is done except for a few choke parts .
I'll see if i can load some pictures but lately i cant seem to get ANY pictures to load .

Hey John,

No problem with the photos.  They enlarged nicely.  Carbs from Carmen or someone else?
