Re: 71 Blue Jay

It’s been 5 years but I’m still here…
Lots of work and learning has been done on the Blue Jay in that time. The brakes actually work now. Got lots of clear coat done on the body. Put in a new-to-me windshield that broke going in. Lol. It sat in the garage for a year and I haven’t driven it much the last few so had to replace the water pump, which created other issues. Every time something gets fixed something else breaks… so new water pump and hoses, rebuilt carburetor, new headlights and taillights, and some wiring. New voltage regulator (which made a huge performance difference).

Today I got new shocks and one installed. Will be ordering parts for suspension refresh. I’ve been driving it a lot this past few months and it’s a great feeling.
