Hi!
Some of you might know it already but I picked up my very first early A on the 26'th of October -09.
The car is in pretty good shape and don't need any big fixes but anyhow I will post the things that I will do along with photos of the work! Let's start with some pictures!

Okey! Here's a list of specifications of the car!
Engine - 318" with 10:1 compression, freshly rebuilt, stock cam and holley 650
Rear-axle - Mopar 8,75
Transmission - Freshly reebuilt 904
Body - 1966 4door with hijackers
Brakes - Stock drums
Things to be done!
Dash -The light gray areas of the dash is beeing painted white and the darker areas black
Doors - The dark grey areas over the door panels is beeing painted white and some armrests is going to be mounted
Instrumentation - Soldering the connector pins and fixating them with super-glue
Wiring - All the wiring of the interior and engine compartment is beeing redone
Wheels - A pair of steel rims are to be bought to put winter tires on
Brakes - Will try to get ahold of discbrakes from another car
Driveshaft - Since the PO shortened the driveshaft by simply cutting a pieco out of the middle and welding it together it needs to be balanced...
Stearing Wheel - The chrome, except the round center is beeing painted black
Going on right now!
Im currently painting the dashboard and redoing the electrical since that's what I can do for myself at the moment. The drivshaft is already at my friends machine-shop and will be done at the beginning of next week. Other than that it's standing quite still but my priority is getting the car running so carb adjustments and driveshaft has to come first, then the tires, after that's done the rest will go on, just like clockwork =)
Anyway, please tell if you notice any spelling misstakes or something since english isn't my native language I apology for any such mistakes.
Pictures of the ongoing work will arrive on monday! Best regards!
