A Little Here and Little There

Spent a good deal of time on the scout this weekend. Was able to adust the carb so its not missing as bad now. Tried to move the distributor so we could adust the timing but it wont budge. Sprayed it down good with blaster and will try again next weekend.

I did some sanding on the floor boards. They look better. I bought a sandblasting gun from HD this weekend. Will use the neighbors compressor next weekend and see if we can blast them clean. I have to patch some very small holes in the front part of the floor seem. Think I will use some metal filler. Would like to try some solder but think just filler will work.

Fixed the windows this weekend too. Lubed the drivers side up with grease and blaster. I had to put the passenger side back together. It had broken but was fixable. Need to find the grommets for the window lifters. Those will be a trick. But at least it works!

Also used some Turtle Wax rubbing compound and polish on it. Wow, really looks good. Need to wax it now. Still gots its "charterer" but it looks so much better. Got the hood and one side done. Finish the other side and rear next weekend I hope.

I took her up to the car wash and sprayed out the engine too. Looks better but will need some painting.

All good so far! Lots to do!
