Finally had some time to replace the rebuilt computer. It's on the far right in this pic.



Still have some buttoning up to do to finish. She gave me more of a fight going back in than I anticipated, so I decided to quit once the computer was installed. Have to replace the MAF before I'm ready to try starting it and will probably jack her up and take the tires off. The set of Yokohama tires I ordered were an issue. The rears are on nationwide back order. Damn supply chain. But I found a set of Potenza Sports that will work (and will be $200 cheaper) that are scheduled to arrive on Wed. If she starts tomorrow and the tires arrive on Wed, I might be able to drive her on Thu.

New shoes arrived today. Wasn't easy finding 16s. Could either find the frts or the rears but not both. Had to go with a diff sized frt to make this set work - Bridgestone Potenza Sports, which are reportedly a sticky tire. Not that it matters since this will be a cruiser.

Will maybe put them on tonight when the temps cool off or tom morning.
