Mid 12's first time out and with a the carb being a finicky, that's rock solid man. Once the carb is dialed should get into the low 12's maybe even high 11's. As for that carb bog, if the idle circuit is happy and the WOT is happy, then you have to look at the accelerator pump cam and squirter. Get a couple squirters both higher number and lower number than what you have and the cam kit for the accelerator pump. Probably going to take a little trial and error to figure out which way to go (up or down) as the motor has to be underload when you wack it open to know if it's happy with the squirter size. Regardless, super cool to see this car come together.

Thanks. I just recently ran across your channel and watched some of your videos. I’m jealous of the wagon one day I’ll have one.
@OneMoreBoltАй бұрын
@@TheBobbyb918 haha right on. Yeah, I love the wagons. This one kinda snowballed into more of a project than I was planning originally but it's getting close to being a driver again. Hopefully in the next couple weeks. But yeah, definitely get yourself a wagon, they have serious cool factor! haha

Your master heat shield is on point. One possible improvement would be to slot the holes so you don't have to take the nuts all the way of the master cylinder studs to remove the heat shield (looks like it might interfere with removing the valve cover is the only reason I say that). Hope you don't mind, probably going to copy that concept for my car when I get there. She does have a nice chop to her, getting real close to hitting the street for the first time, which means the first 1/4 mile lick shouldn't be too long after. haha

It made it really hard to check the oil the dipstick is directly under it. Other than that it seems to be doing its job.
@OneMoreBoltАй бұрын
@@TheBobbyb918 Hadn't even thought about it blocking the dip stick but Yeah I can see that. Another good reason to slot the holes so that all you have to do is crack the master nuts loose slide it off and out of the way during servicing, they slip it back in and sinch the nuts. I'm all about the simple effective budget friendly solutions and think you nailed it with this one.

Nice job, good clean wire install. And the kill switch setup is on the money, through the reverse light is the cleanest way to do it in my opinion. As for the park lights, you probably have this figured out by now, but it's normal for them to be off when the headlights are on. Front park lights are only on when the light switch is one click out (head lights still off).

Great video, Bro! I love the creativity, your attention to detail, and the use of repurposed materials. I recently bought the same model tool cart in slate gray. I just happened to have a large roll of gray floor covering material that I salvaged from a construction site. I used it for my drawer liners, top lid, and side shelf. It looks decent but nowhere close to looking as good as yours. I'm using velcro to keep the covering on the lid because I didn't want to drill holes, but once the "new cart" feeling leaves, I just might follow your lead! Enjoy!

Yeah I didn’t feel good about drilling holes into a new toolbox but I’m good with it now though.

I know this is an old video but I had the same issue with mounting the shocks. What I found was the instruction did not say to use the small spacer on the top and it said to use the 1 1/2 inch spacer for the bottom. I measured my bigger spacer that they sent and they are 2 1/2 inches. If I leave the spacer off the top and measure to the shock on the bottom it’s exactly 1 1/2 inches. I cut the bushing down to 1 1/2 and everything lines up.
@TheBobbyb918Ай бұрын
I’ll have to measure the bottom spacer and see how long it is.

You're lucky the car didn't fall on you when you had the rear end on the transmission stand and you were under the car messing with the rear end not being stable and it hit the car more than four times I think you need to be more careful you should have gotten the cherry picker because if the car want to fall on you if the car would have fall on you it would have made more sense then to put the cherry picker together I love what you're doing but be safe I watched all your videos
