Just prior to the site going out - I fixed my bug from running on 2 cylinders. I just cleaned the plugs and regapped. Played with the timing using the 'by-ear' setting. Less hesitation, better idle. I will put to the test in my town's 4th of July parade on the 3rd. Added the magnet flowers to distract from the primer!---

Well the timing thing was a flop - the car was fine for a 30 min. parade @ 3 MPH. When it was time to drive back home (2 miles) backfiring for anything above an idle - Back to the drawing board!

During all this HOT weather this week I put the air conditioning in the garage to good use the past few days.

I finally put a shelf where the back seat was and made a trap door so I can get to the battery without taking everything apart. Now I have a nice storage area for my chairs, spare tire (thanks john) and my tools. The top also still folds in very nice. I painted the front of the panel the same paint scheme  as the car.

DEPENDS If you have front and rear 4" solor vents like I have (not on yet), then I would say middle. Only my 2 cents.

Why not the back?
Those are borrowed tires. Mine are under the tarp in the left of the photo. I finally got them mounted Thursday.
Back is an option, but I didn't take a photo yet.

OK Bud... What's a 4" Solar Vent?

Started out Fri. to do front brakes on the bus, jacked it up, took wheels off, brakes looked great. (maybe I already did them and forgot) that was a load off so left everything just sitting there and I hopped in the Strap and decided to go for a ride. I was headed up to Franks just to say hello but when I got to Turnersville the roads were all wet and the clouds looked like it was going to rain again so I did a U Turn and went back home. I started to repack the front wheel bearings, got one side done then stoped for the day, I was to tired to continue. This morning I did the other set of bearings, had breakfest and now on the computer for a little bit. Now I have to run to tractor supply and get some paint to touch up the Strap for the trip to Bound Brook tomorrow morning.
