Haven't posted much lately. I"ve actually been working on the car a ton. Nearly every day during April & May, not so much in June yet. Let me give a re-cap of what's happened in the last months.
  1. Everything back together.
  2. Carbs mounted & working
  3. Engine started & ran
  4. Test drive around neighborhood
  5. Panasport install
  6. carbs tuned
  7. Ran out of gas in an intersection while driving around neighborhood, messed with carbs
  8. Restored trunk and painted hood cowls

And I'm back to square one on the carbs. The parts come monday. I will spend this weekend getting the motor running good again. I hope to have it running to drive it to our next meeting. And to the Bella Italia event with the Ferarri and Alfa club of SD. And then to Monterey this August! Yeehaw!
