Well made it home safely and of course had to stop by the gas station to fill Hyde up.
Took Hyde to the tranny shop to have the shift linkage/kickdown cable adjusted and now it shifts alot better and more consistent.
Decided to take Hyde around to the body shops to get some estimates on painting him....That was a PITA...No one really wanted to fool with it but I did get some estimates...No one wanted to put the estimate in writing
but the did tell me bewtween 7k to 10k to repaint it
I ended up taking it to the guy who painted my stripes on my Camaro and he is willing to do it. So I will take it to Robbie once I get all the mechanical stuff done. He said it would take about 2 months to finish. The good thing is his shop is about 3 miles from the house so it will be easy to check on.
The plan is to get it mechanically sound, take it up to his shop and then take it apart....Motor, tranny, wiring etc......so it will be easier to paint. Once he has teh bosy work done and painted we will put everything back. He will then put the front clip back on and get everything aligned.
After my running around I check ole Hyde over and found a couple of leaks...nothing major just need to tighten up some fittings.
Butterfly linkage still is wanting to stick and that isn't a good thing so we are going to re-do the linkage to alleviate that.
Matt is working on the tune and hopefully tonight he tries the new tune although I dont know if he will be able to test it since it is pouring down rain today:( but it will get there in time I am sure.
So close but yet so far...at least I can drive ole Hyde
