Sill plate redux

Posted by Eman on August 14th, 2007

The previous sill plates were too high and didn’t allow the doors to close
Had a sheet metalist cut them down
Reinstalled the one on the passenger side and the door closed!
Of course I had to drill new holes, but the carpet will cover most of them

Put the tranny linkage back to where it was, time before last
Went to the gas station and aired up my tires… They were each about 10 lbs too low

Posted by Eman on August 8th, 2007

Adjusted the tranny to governor linkage again
Did some test runs around the neighborhood
Tried creeping up a hill to force a gear change and wound up stalling

Inside arm rests

Posted by Eman on August 5th, 2007

Got some hard plastic arm rests (my originals rubbery, covered with leather and cloth) out of a ‘50 Stude
Installed the driver side, but could only install the first screw in the passenger side one
