for good pictures, you have to have sunlight on them. Take a rocker out in the yard and snap a picture tomorrow. :)

(btw, if you sell ANYTHING on ebay, take the pictures of it in natural sunlight and bids will be higher. crazy how it works, but it does. :p )


I'm sitting here trying to figure out what that curved part is that is sitting by the rocker covers on the stand, lol.

Also, looking great! Wish mine was there!

thanks... i'm worried about messing shit up when i put the doors on. for some reason my doors are a pain in the ass to line up. may be because they are 70 doors on an 81 body... i'm going to use a lot of painters tape during reconstruction...

even out in sunlight my camera doesn't capture the color quite right, but it's closer:

Nice, Steve, very nice. Eye catching and not the usual Fiat color. Can't wait to see it all together (I suspect you're a bit more than eager as well).

i am... i was getting nervous because the paint guy has to redo the hood and fix a couple other small things and i didn't hear from him til today. I knew he couldn't come last week because he was getting his motorcycle ready for a race, but i texted him over the weekend to see if he was coming back today and i didn't get a reply. He called today, said he missed the text that he would be here on thursday to get the mistakes prepped and back on friday or saturday to finish paint.

i've been helping my dad out a lot at his house and what little time i've had left, i've been trying to cram into the 74. It's running now, and idling good... i have to learn more about carb adjustment or something. cause when i give it gas, it wants to stall. if i give it gas real slow, it will idle right up. today I did manage to get my brake booster and splash shield/rock guard (whatever it's called) cleaned up and painted for whenever I can start putting my car back together. I'm getting anxious, so i hope the guy finishes it up by the end of the weekend.

The accelerator pump diaphragm on your carb may be split. it is supposed to shoot a little gas into your engine when you hit the gas.
