Re: Tim's '55 Patrician

An absolutely beautiful day here in the eastern part of the Commonwealth could not go by without doing some work on the Patrician. The temperatures reached 60 this afternoon and it was a great afternoon for working on a great car!
The Patrician is not coming along anywhere as fast as I had hoped it would. Having my Craftsman 25-gallon air compressor crap out on me was a major PITA and halted work on replacing the left exhaust manifold. Naturally, that is holding up completing the exhaust system.
I'm waiting for the arrival of my vacuum tool so I can test the Patrician's fuel line for leaks. I'm hoping that the line tests out alright as I'm really not looking forward to replacing that sucker. Still, by process of elimination, that is one of the few things left on the fuel system that still has to be checked out so that it is once again functional.
I've appended a few pictures of the Patrician as she currently sits majestically in my garage. One of these afternoons or evenings when I feel up to it, I'm going to sort out and catalog the collection of various parts that now reside in the Pat's trunk.
