Since last update a lot has happened. After the window wipers, I built a cardboard mockup box to see how the Air Conditioning was going to fit in under the dash. Going to be tight but it will go. Next, I have been working on the seat risers to see if I want to put in the bucket seats I bought. Almost done with them.
Monday I went to Quincy with Van Aldershof and Jim Luther and ordered a 700R4 transmission Fron Gene Horton. It should be done Friday or next Monday.
Got a call from Cliff Couch on Monday afternoon and he said he had the new engine built. Yesterday Bob Ertzinger and Tony Cetta went with me to pick it up. Got a nice set of valve covers from Tony to dress it up. Cliff filled it up with oil and zinc additive and prelubed the oil system. Got a good 60 lbs pressure. He put in a mild cam, so it should sound very good.
I'll finish the seats this week and if the weather doesn't get too cold, I'll join the transmission and engine and possibly set them in.
The old F1 is gonna look good with a new heart.
