While I’m getting some work done on the Venus for the next update, I thought I’d post some more photos from the past. These are specifically of the “Massachusetts” Venus as I found it, along with some before/after compositions. You sometimes don’t realize how far you’ve come until you see where you started. Enjoy! (Remember, all photos will enlarge with a simple click on the pic)
These are the initial photos that were sent to me as it sat in the owners driveway, note the enlarged hood scoop and how well-sorted the engine is!
Note the steering linkage rubbing on the oil pan below…think this was a problem? You’re darn tootin’ it was!
Having to deal with a mess like this (below) can cause severe brain-damage folks, though most of my friends already know that occurred many years ago!
Here is the same clutch and brake linkage finally sorted out and returned to original:
More later; thanks for checking in.
