Nothing too terrible. We just noticed a few things during the days drives about town.

1:  still had an oil leak, but this one was from the oil pan drain plug (thankfully).

2.  The car got grumpy when trying to start her while she was hot. CP thought it was the exhaust crossover ports in the intake manifold that needed to be blocked off.  Hence her "naked" pictures. 

3. We heard an exhaust leak...turns out we blew out an exhaust gasket.

4. The starter was not acting right, so we replaced it.

Back on the road again.    Can't thank CP enough! What an awesome human being!

 All better now... we will keep her off the tequila till Carlisle!

Just constant fixes & debugging  , I think I have had every major component apart except the diff now !!
Just issues with everything , today alone had to fix  leaks from exhaust , oil pan , had to block the heat crossover , just boiling the fuel in the carb , would not start hot . Working on keys & locks ,
We had the starter checked & was given a clean bill of health & then it got grumpy , so now it has a mini starter on it  .
Plugs are cleaner than new so now I get to start tuning for real now that the harder work is seemingly completed & it is running way too lean !
yesterday was oil pan leaks , new power steering box & numerous other fixes , I have lost track of everything we have had to work through !!

[Cuda Cody]

What timing are you running at all in?

Sometimes starters will "check" fine, but as soon as the brushes get super hot they don't turn over very well.... as I'm sure you know.  The mini starter will probably solve it anyway.

[Chryco Psycho]

The timing is set exactly where it sounds right as usual !!   
The starter would not even click last night , it had been sitting over 1 hour & was cool . I convinced it to work to get it home , it is now out & replaced !!

Nice work CP, new cars=new bugs. It always seems to take a bit of effort before they are bulletproof.
