So I got a 4 day weekend coming up after Turducken. The original plan was to get the engine broken in this weekend and in the car the next but I'm thinking of just going HAM next weekend instead of either A) skipping out on Turducken or B) driving down to Newport News and back with a massive hang over just to make a few braided lines and hook up some radiator hoses. The plan for the 4 day should look like this:
Friday:
fuel lines
power steering lines
fix my fender extension and reattach it
sand down the remaining paint chips and get some rust converter on them
hook up the radiator hoses if the radiator support is actually finished
install my Lokar gas pedal
Saturday:
get the engine broken in. Gonna have to steal the carb and exhaust off my dad's truck to get this done so it'll likely take most of the day
Sunday/Monday:
Ideally I'd like to get the damn thing in the car but most likely it'll get pushed to the next working weekend. I'd also like to start the installation of the wiring kit. Really need my dad's help on both of these unless someone here wants to come down all the way out there and lend a hand. With it in the car I get an idea for what size driveshaft I need and hit the junkyard in search of that. After that it's a matter of hooking up brakes and steering. Seems pretty doable I just need the help
inb4 the motor destroys itself on the runstand
