Well today i got the water hose back and installed and no leaks.. great.. put the front inter fender back on and did some tweaking to the carb. and timing getting it to idle a little smoother.. Also installed something that now i won't worry about so much when i leave my car in a hotel parking lot over night and wake up the next morning hoping it'll be there or if i'll every see it again... if you would like to see what it is go to Arrow Track | GPS Tracking System from Eclipse Engineering and take a look... to many cars go missing and never seen again...You don't know what it is to love a car until you build one.

An alternative that I used is a little Garmin unit with a "Tracker" application on the phone and laptop - https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/digital...prod67686.html User defined "Geo Fence Areas" that can be set up in a minute or two, with e-mail notification if the car exits the "fence". It's about 1.75" X 3", used for tracking everything from dogs to backpacks to hot rods. I used a hidden lighter socket power cord to keep it powered 24/7 with a very low (miliamp) drain. Works for me... but hasn't been "tested" yet and I hope it never is!!! Originally Posted by parkwood

Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Thats great Roger, anything to help get your car back or best of all give you peace of mind while it's not in your site.. This one cost a little more but for all that it does just made me feel a little safer.. I've had a friend get his '56 nomad ripped off last year just after getting it completed and it wasn't a good feeling and it wasn't even mine... state farm forked over 6 figures for that one... And like you hope i never have to test it out..You don't know what it is to love a car until you build one.
