[N2TRUX]

Last night till late, and up early again this morning. I made slow tedious progress on the wiring, vacuum lines, and throttle bracket. I was ready to install the carb, and pulled it out of the box we had it stashed in. I had blasted it with carb cleaner, wrapped it in a plastic bag, and stored it in a box to keep it clean.

Unfortunately the carb cleaner worked too well and left raw metal which rusted. I made an executive and did something I may later regret. I painted the carb with VHT high temp paint. The label says that it is chemical resistant once heat cured, so lets hope I dont have any leaks.
