    Well after many months the AV8 roadster is about 90% done...well almost! Are they ever really done? Now if it weren't winter here I'd have more time to enjoy the ride. Nothing like kicking up snow and dirt in an open roadster!

    I said, "nice, nice, nice"
    I'd like to change that to "PERFECT!"

    That's why my roadster is still primer since the late 90's

    Spendng my social isolation time reworking some things on the model A. Installed a trunk seperator panel and side panels on the interior. Covered them with inexpensive vinyl. After realizing how much a pain changing points are I tore the ignition sytem apart and replaced virtualy every thing. Installed a Petronix system and to my surprise found my plugs were incorrect reach for the Edelbrock heads.
    Very pleased with the improved performance.Thank you HAMB for the valuable insight.
    Re-fabricated my tail pipes for additional suspension clearance.
    If this crap continues I may even think about painting it...well maybe!
