HOOD UP

 It was raining yesterday so I tried putting the old hood on the car. It fit fine however I think the hood was made with the frame reversed. Anyway it worked and was fun trying to get in and out with the hood up. I'll have to make a video of that.

I'll have problems finding a trim shop that can make a new one and re-cover the side curtains.

IT'S RUNNING

 Lit a fire yesterday. Great oil pressure but the solid copper head gasket leaked in several spots. I changed out the gasket for a stock one today and all is well. Drove it for a few miles and oil pressure never dropped below 30#; at 40MPH the pressure is 45#. 

I'm a happy camper!! Just need to learn how to drive it now.

edit 12/4/21:  Drove it 20+ miles today. At the end the oil was 15# at idle and 35# at 40 MPH with 10W30 break in oil. I think I've nailed it.

edit2 (12/7/21): I now have 100  miles on it. Coil issues and burned points. Replaced coil with one with built in resistor and new points; perfect running the last two days. Oil pressure holding strong.
