Got the rock screen mounted in the grill shell, thanks to Rooster. Used his construction adhesive idea. Changed out the blue and red AN fittings for nickel-plated. Looks much better with the flames. Got the steering box and front end back on. Mounted the shock towers and headlight stands. Dis-assembled and cleaned the carbs and re-set the floats. How do floats get out adjustment? I re-set them when I first got them... they were quite a bit off from the factory (Edelbrock). They were off again when I pulled them apart. I don't see how they can change on their own. Got all the brake lines cleaned and painted and re-installed. Got a new master cylinder to replace the crappy rebuild I had. Bled the brakes since it is easier to do with the body off. Man I love speed bleeders. Took a whole 15 minutes to bleed all four corners. Got everything on the frame under the body done, then put the body back on. Woohoo! Getting close.
