    I enjoy seeing the little steps needed to maintain very old cars. Lots of channels post the big dramatic stuff; only ITG shows the nitty gritty work.

    Its crazy to think this car started as a pile of parts in some barn to what it is now, lots of great progress 👏

    Good work! I still think it's so cool that you put this together after it had been reduced to parts! When you said "bringing it to spring", did you mean Carlisle? I'd like to see it! I bought my ticket and booked my lodging, can't wait . Being a Californian, I've wanted to hit Carlisle and Hershey since I was a teenager in the late seventies. I guess like Eastern guys want to hit Pomona, Turlock, and the GNRS

    Not everybody has number drills, but the correct tap drill size is 21. Why didn't you just use the whole Y block generator? I think we all like seeing Mike and Steve doing videos.

      @@IronTrapGarage I was wondering the same thing as kodak_jack. Mike didn't install the generator on the intake in the middle of the engine, it's hung out on the drivers side over the head.

    Mike just a suggestion, Next time you have a new peice of Lami before you install it, Get some Clear fingernail polish & paint the edges to protect from any moisture from working its way between the glass & the lamination! burrp!

    Chip away. Use a portable heater, oil or ceramic for localized heating on cold days working upstsirs. Drivable spring/summer.
