16 days to go:
1. I have the rear axle out - long story short we had scored a killer deal on it through Craigslist...now we know why. A totally unexpected expense and delay, but it will be right...and the future owner will enjoy that peace of mind.
2. Transmission didn't make it - I replaced it over the labor day weekend - another unexpected cost and delay.
3. Overheating....had the radiator cleaned yesterday for fear it was clogged from having water in it years ago, then letting it sit with dust...etc. Also checked all the ports, pump...etc. I think we may have a lean condition. I'll be starting the carb tuning and up-jetting as soon as I get the axle back in to run it.
Nothing like coming down to the wire to make things exciting...eh?
