Impala body getting closer

After months of no contact with the body guy,  we finally connected and he is back on it.

Yes he needed another draw, which leaves him almost fully paid for the project before he got half way done but oh well I guess.  That is what we get for picking and individual.

Weekend faucet project

Installed a new faucet in the bathroom as the previous one was leaking a t the handle.  The install process went quickly with all of the temporary tools. But the replacement pipe that goes to the ptrap had a new type of drain plug.  And we found that we could not install the new one until we got an extension. So we had to keep the old one which used a type of drain plug which had the lever built into the faucet.  So I jerry-rigged a lever pitch plugged up the hole so we could use it until I bought the extension.

Rebuilding a Chevy II carb 194 3.2L single barrel

Took it apart.  Found the carb number.  7020105.  It is a Rochester park

As I took each new component, screw, jet washer and holding pin apart. I got more and more concerned that I would have trouble putting it back together.  So I made sure to take a couple of pictures and I found a video that showed the process of reassembly fir a similar carb.  I wire wheel all of the components to remove the years of gunk. Then we went to O'Reilly to pick up the rebuild kit that they had in stock.
