  1. Hi all, New progress since last on here; I just bought a universal fuel pump to replace the mechanical Chrysler one she had as stock. Getting on with this build has been an interesting challenge; mostly due to my inexperience, the distance I have to drive out in the desert to where I store the car and the fact I work nights but I'm really keen to get her moving under her own power before I have to help my father move his stuff up to Oregon- once I get it sucking petrol from the tank like it's meant to I'm focusing on brakes next! Played with the electrics and half do work (Low beam lights, wipers, air con and the driver's side window) while the clock, radio antennae, radio, horn ring and turn signals are all taking a nap. Found that somebody disconnected the black ground wire on the L side horn *Has one hooter on each side of the engine bay behind the grille* so I wired it back up, put a little tape around it and... still no toot. Wish me luck haha >to be continued...
  2. An event that runs throughout that month between Reno's infamous hot chicken wing festival in July and the Zombie Crawl in October, a calling for car enthusiasts from far and wide is Hot August Nights which takes place across the whole town and spreads into Virginia City, Carson and the City of Sin itself (6 hours away to the east!). Whether or not I'll still be in Reno to see it in 2017 is another matter, but I took plenty of photos from last year's run and met some great people *this was just before I bought my '59 Impy so I was still project-hungry at the time*. If you're in the States midway through this year I'd recommend checking it out. A dinner at Mel's diner after spending the afternoon burning to a crisp walking around looking at old yankee iron is a must-do experience. -Benperial
