Oh, Mike, the "tool shed" reference is connected to an old joke about expanding the mid-section to the point of creating a shelter, aka "shed" over a particular "special tool". However, in so doing, it's possible to make the "shed" so large that it becomes difficult to access the "tool" when you really need to use it........

Every good tool needs shelter, or at least a shelf

Must be a Mid-West "thing".... LOL..

Well this weekend I shed the "tool shed".. and crawled around under the car and got that new basepan installed. wasn't bad to do all things considered. The steering rack mount was just barely touching one corner but the mount is slotted at the bolts so it was an easy adjustment. 7 quarts of oil with the filter.

Hey Meller, you need a basepan to replace that leaky one you had?

Next stop, dual quads!

Spent some hours getting the carbs apart and ready for the soaking. I had forgotten how bad those Holley gaskets can cling and harden up!

I was blissfully unaware until about 2 pm... LOL.. anyway, it's progress..

----and the longer the old carbs set the worse the gaskets are to get off!!!!! Betcha they go together with the new non-stick gaskets?????

So True, So True!!! Those gaskets are just miserable! in 3 hours I only got one of them clean of gaskets and ready to be dipped. I'll get the other one ready sometime this week.

I also got my friend Mark to bring his 28 Tudor over for some re-wiring, so I've got plenty to do all of a sudden!

Well I'm FINALLY done with gasket scraping! I actually used a bit from the lathe and ground it narrow enough and sharp enough to get through those miserable gaskets!

So both carbs are done and once I'm finished moving this snow and dealing with these single digit temperatures, I'll get back to work on it!

I want to clean the intake before installation so that'll be next I guess. At least it's progress I guess... LOL..

Nasty old carbs are finally cleaned up!!!! As for the single digit and negative double digit temps, seriously considering heading South for a month, tired of this crap already. Want to come along?
