I couldn’t find Mary Kay’s nail polish, and I’m fresh out of my own 😲😕 , so I went with Permatex hi-temp thread sealant instead for the fuel line. I redid the fittings between the filter and the pump, and the filter to the carb - maybe tomorrow, I’ll crawl under the car and redo the input to the pump.

Also got the driveshaft back in, and bled the brakes. For a couple bucks I picked up a syringe on Amazon, it made short work of filling the master brake cylinder so @#$@&#!! close to the bellows. Thank goodness the bend in the brake tubing on the axle housing kept air from propagating elsewhere - it didn’t take many pumps of the pedal to clear all bubbles from the fluid coming out. For sure, the brakes will be good enough to back it out of the driveway.

_Yeah, that’s the space heater running in the corner. Takes the chill off nicely!_

Soon I’ll be mounting the old tires (new ones, after the repaint) and putting Faulkner back on Terra Firma, the first time in three years. I reinstated my classic car insurance - on hold during this period - and tomorrow, I’ll run by John Hauser’s Drexel Automotive and discuss plans for redoing the brakes and exhaust. This is getting so real!
