Time to get started.

Looks good Memike. Happy late birthday

Thank you Dave :-D

Happy belated birthday!

I got my lug nuts from Americas Tire, they had to order them but you can still get them. I think they where around $1.50 each

NAPA said they can get them :cheers:

You could always cheat and get right hand thread studs for about a buck each at your local parts store.

I thought about that David 8) But for know i will keep the left side left hand smokers for know :-D
I put Victoria up on jack stands and took the wheel to the tire store like I did the front, I don't want a rookie or an impact wench on them.
I am sure you know what I mean :-D

 

[memike]

The day has finely came :cheers: My truck is back home and my driver now =P~
I moved some stock car stuff out of the nest and made room for Victoria's new parts.
Its about time I know !!!!!:bootysha: I drove in town and picked up my gaskets and some blaster to get things soaking. Here I go :love7:

She has 60.272 miles on her now! Trouble free driving, She has been a great life saver for me and my family.

 

[memike]

Looks like the starter will come off next, That's enough bending over for a few hours, I am keeping blaster on everything8)

Look's like you got you work cut out for you memike. I like your use of the shovel handles to keep those wrenches in place and not turn. :cheers:

Thoughs are my Qigong work out sticks.
one long and the other short 8) They sure help with torque, You can see them on my back pack in the first picture of my work area
A few steps at a time, I know better then stay bent over under the hood to long :happy10:

 

[pettybludart]

Don't you worrie I am an ol veteran and know better then jump in and do to much 8) Thank you for the advice and the back pack has everything I need exept a solar phone charger :toothy10:

 

[memike]

Dang rear nut and bolt don't want to come loose so I am going to have Creed cut the pipe for me:happy10: But I am moving along one step at a time8)
No broken bolts :cheers::cheers::cheers:

Shaking like a leaf after that move on my 170/ Low Deck Time for a warm sauna bath :clock:

 

[slantscamp]

looks good memike! i think the hardest part is getting all those old rusty bolts off. and you might as well change all those studs out with new ones so you dont have to deal with one breaking when you reinstall everything. i cant wait to see it all bolted up. good luck tuning that holley. its been a pain in the but for me. just do a little at a time and take a lot of breaks for beer and you will get er done.

Thank you slantscamp I sure will change out the studs :cheers:
As soon as I get everything out of there I am going to clean and prep the engine bay for paint, but first the engine will be steam cleaned and painted.
New engine and trans mounts water pump timing gears set and go to a mini starter, so it will be a fall to winter job I have started.
I am thinking of taking the head off and freshen it up a bit, she has 60.000 miles on her and 10.000 are mine :cheers:
Any advice will be appreciated =P~

Congrats on getting after it Mike! I know you've been excited about this for a long time.

Best advice I can give you is to grab a can of PB Blaster the next time you're at the parts store (even some Dollar Generals carry it). Spray a little bit, take a beer / sauna break, and by the time you get back you can break them loose. It's so good it even works uphill.

Try it. :-D

Mike, you are doing a great job. Wish I could get off my a$$ and get something done.

The same here HemiPar 8) I am going to Monster Mopar Weekend and don't want to risk hurting my lower back in there cleaning and stripping things down for paint, I am thinking of just setting the system on the engine for a couple pictures today if it will stop raining for a bit =P~=P~

 

[memike]

I jumped up and took my intake out and set it in place to make sure my measurements was correct and make sure the hood won't hit my cool air collector8)

It fits under the hood :cheers::cheers::cheers: I got my dirty fingers on my intake !!

 

[Burntorange70]

It looks good on there Mike.

 

[slantscamp]

that looks good. it will be nice to get cool fresh air in the motor. im thinking of cutting a hole in my hood and running a scoop. then putting a taller air filter and maybe a carb spacer on to get the air filter up in the scoop. it gets so hot under the hood. good luck memike and keep the pictures comin.

 

[memike]

Thank you Bunrt :cheers: The pictures sure don't do it justice, And I am glad it all fit under the hood, I will be moving the battery to the trunk and butting a fresh air filter in it's place. It should look allot better when the engine, Fire wall and inner fenders get new paint on. I am going to have to do something with the electronic box it made one hell of a mess as you can see.

Thank you slant, I am going to have a filter system where my Battery is 8)
You are right it gets hot under the hood 8)

 

[memike]

[memike]

Now to locate a filtered breather box that will custom fit where the battery is.
