Finally got to give my girl some love. Works been busy. Restored, powder coated early dark grey rims, with origional valve stems and nos grey caps. Also replaced 225s with the stock 235s . I know its a small difference but it bugged me lol . Replaced angle drive with a Grady rebuilt unit and lower cable . Discovered old lower Speedo cable snapped. Put all the new parts in and she works again! Next up is stereo. Parts on deck include lower rocker clips and rocker fixin next

I discover a big puddle of coolent under my car after the long winter. One of the mistakes I made was using regular hoses in the valley. So I replaced with silicone and also re torqed heads while I was in there. Also found a slight leak under the front frame plate. Took me about 6 to 8 hours . Took my time . She fired right back up. No leaks !
If you have an early car like mine and want to restore your rims at a local rim doctor etc. Here is the powder coat color of my wheels. Screenshot_20180509-095641.jpg
This is the base coat . Then a clear coat of powder on Top of that
Put new (rebuilt) stereo in from Dimitri. Couldn't be happier . Sounds awesome. Replaced speakers . Pretty happy with whole setup and stoked it's an origional stereo.
Replaced turn signal unit with a nos replacement and put brand new nos horns in. Car now has a horn and autocancelling turn signals that work. Now to not let people sit in the car and kick the stalk. Had to cut up a harmonic balancer puller and go get some bolts from hardware store to make a steering wheel puller that fit.
