@jimynick  I talked to Dan today. The car is on stands in the garage. We need to get under body stuff and rear brakes done so we can put it back down on the ground. Then roll it outside where there's more room and better light to work. I'll bring my Dewalt kit. Oh, and my GoPro.  :yes: There's lots of tools.


I'll bring most tools that I can muster.
Might need a few specialty ones that I might not have, dunno.
I'll bring the following:
Box fans if it's stupid hot
A creeper
Foam mats on which to lie on
Chairs
Rags
Towels
Tools
-multi meter
-extra sockets and such
-pliers, grabbers, clamps
-fluids
-extension cords/power strips
-extra lights
-A cooler full o stuff
-Manuals
-A dry erase board
-Parts galore (gotta pick up more stuff!)
Still need the rest of the brake stuff- -ETA Thursday
-Power steering hose
Soft front brake hoses

Small pry bars
Soft blow hammer
I'll also bring my Tap and die set for the front bumper bracket weld in-nut that seems to be a little stripped out.

If you've got a tap n die set more recent than mine, pls bring it! Mines incomplete, and from the 40s!
Need a tube bender/flange tool

As a note:
I have verified that I have the correct tap for the weld-in nut.

I think we will have all we need to get that car up and running save for the park brake cable on Wednesday!
Just left Roseville Moparts with another box o' goodies.
I'll be picking up the alternator and front brake hoses tomorrow morning.

I'll also have to stop and get some liquids!!

A good day but not quite done. Holy hot! Still over 80*. We're moving things along at a respectable pace. Hoping to fire by tomorrow night. Still some pieces missing but we're gathering them. Thank God Dan did all the legwork he did before today.  :worship:

You guys kicked ass!!!
I did the easy part, [emoji23]🤣











Many questions remain, and many parts are still on the table.
I'll be busting my but tomorrow to see what else we can scrape up!
Thanks again guys! You all did an incredible job!

I don't suppose you have a spare emergency brake cable assembly?
🤣[emoji848][emoji848]
Exhaust would be good Dave.
We are also going to have to locate a shroud, a spare trans dipstick tube, a coolant overflow bracket and some wheel spacers.
