Installed my chain tensioner after having to helicoil both mounting points after the threads pulled out on me. Replaced the vacuum lines with lindsey racing lines, reinstalled coolant lines to the head.

I let someone else drive it... In lunch traffic. She actually did quite well. Also ran over a board in the road. More like a damn plank. Gotta check for air leaks in the morning. I'm gonna be pissed!

I adjusted the clutch pedal rod as it was really sloppy, it smoothed things out quite a bit. I'll do the brake pedal in the morning, its pretty sloppy too. How much play should i leave? should i be trying for 1/16th off the plunger or more?

The wheels just got a second coat of etching filler. This is the first time I've painted anything using real painting equipment, so there's a huge learing curve. The first coat needed a lot of sanding and some glazing putty in a few spots. I debated about going to the color coat tonight, but am very happy with the decision to apply a second coating. It still needs to have a few imperfections sanded down, but it's, dare I say...smooth.

Oh, and flat olive green phone dials look funny on a guards red 951.
