Getting closer to firing.

Oil pan changed along with the gasket. (I had a spare oil pan that was not bent in 19 places)
Fuel tank mounted, plumbed and wired.
Lubed the chassis and set him back on the tires on the ground.
Rockers installed & valves adjusted.
Side cover and valve cover on.
Filled with oil & ran the oil pump (with a drill) until I saw oil at the rockers. Good news: the oil pressure gauge works on the dash!
Installed the distributor.
New fuel pump installed and plumbed to the carb.

Learned that I installed the clutch linkage backwards, removed floor pans (again), disassembled and began reassembly when the storm took out the power in the garage.

Not bad for a weekend. Hoping to fire ol' Clyde this weekend.

My Grandfather bought it new and Dad drove it through highschool. The 3rd & 4th generations put it back on the road on 8/8/2015!
