Glad the trans issue is behind you, and I hope you put a couple hundred miles behind you with the nice weather too...
Spent my day busting my butt to get primer/sealer on the Camaro floor...but, hey, I was outside to do that.. LOL

Now that I'm back from my recent NCRS events, and I got my head above water on some of the customer work.......I had a chance to get back on to the 62. The carb is back from Rob Kunz, so I could get that installed and lay down a final tune. I'm thrilled with how the car runs!

Did some small tweaks as well. Lubed up the window regulators, lubed up the heater cables, and threw a hundred miles on in the last couple of days.

In the next few weeks, I'll get the car photographed and see what I am going to do with it. I've really been enjoying the car.......hate to see it go away

Looks good, Tim. Your driving weather should be great for taking that on the roads of Minocqua.

While I have been so busy with a 71 LT-1 that came in, all I have been doing is cranking on the miles in the 62. In that time, the tach gave up the ghost. It was starting to get a little noisy, and then one day Tracey and I were out for a ride......it got pissed. I came in early today to get it blown apart.

I had a tach in stock for the car (from another 62). I'm sending the speedo off the Roger at Speedometer Solutions in Milwaukee to give it the once over. It would wander around from 60 to 100

Must be the 60's genre, the one in my '66 Chevelle will shoot up to 100+ every once in a while too...
