The Langley Cruzin car show has come and gone another year. This is another year my car is unable to make an appearance. Its a constant struggle to find time to devote to the car. I'm  hoping after my truck payments are complete I will have better funding for the goodies the Coronet needs. Now as for time,,,,,,, well that remains to be a on going problem. I have since my last post jack the car up on jack stand and started the fuel lines. Talk about a big hassle, trying to find ends and connectors was nothing but a headache. After countless failed attempts of ordering parts through Lordco,   I realized I was putting way to much thought into it. For now I'm going to keep it simple till after I get it running.

   I've decided to run hard lines from the carb to the electric pump. From the pump into the trunk were going to run 3/8 hose to the fuel cell through the trunk pan. I picked up a 3/8 grommet to ensure the fuel line is not to rupture. There a trip to one of the many marine shops in town to pick up a fuel cell vent this week. There is a couple parts that came as extras in this model of Coronet I would like to trade. The car has a almost new radio with a great chrome cover and a clock. These really nice option's have no use to me and want to trade for the plane face plates that cover where the radio and clock would go. So if a reader out there is in need of these, please let me know.

Well here we are aging. There's a little more progress on the Coronet and a little more to write about. Judging by the small amount of followers I have this is more if a personal car journal. Another year goes by quickly and another car show my #1950Coronet will not be in. Every year Langley BC puts on a great car show. Hundreds of cars from Canada and the US come to show there fabulous colors and great attention to detail. I've had a chance to move the front bumper in 2.5" in. The rear bumper was moved in when I first started the project. So in total I shorten the over all length of the car 5". The way the front bumper was mounted from factory you could of put a continental kit on the front of the car. I've just lifted it up on jack stands this week and am running fuel lines and the electric fuel pump. My son and I finally did a full bleed of the new break lines.

Seem like I'm moving in leaps and bounds lately but the end seems so far away. A quote in having the seats re finished came back really high. Doing some Craig's list snooping I considered some leather buckets. The cost for a Audi interior is a 3rd of what the redo is. Keeping to the look and theme I want it look like I'm forking out some serious dough. Ill be blogging after the car show this year and will post a few pics.
