Working on the 78
I got a little work done on the 78 this weekend. I put in a carb kit, man was the carb ever full of junk, I can't believe that is was still running. I painted the rims so they are all the same color now. The hub caps also got a coat of paint, the ones on the rear where very beat up and rusty. I also touched up some stone chips so it is starting to look fairly decent. Hopefully tonight I will get some pictures up so you all can have a look.

When I got my 71 F350 the hood was toast, I lucked out and found a matching red parts truck with a nice hood and other good parts on it including a decent box. The hood buffed out great and it was the same price for the parts truck as painting the spare hood I had, $400!

Thanks for the compliments guys, even the wife is starting to come around abit. She actuaaly said something nice about it the other night. She hasn't quite got over the trip bringing it home from the auction sale. If you don't recal my post we turned an one hour drive into a 3 hour drive.
