Nice looking engine bay GS! I've got a ways to go to get there.....

Hey All, been swamped with work but did manage to get the trans cleaned up, pulled off all the external parts for cleanup and paint. Been trying to get the truck finished up so I can spend that time on the car....

As always, great write up and inspiration to keep up!

Thanks, I'll give the baby oil a try on one of the panels and see what happens. After prepping the truck to get its motor back in I wanted to get the trans out of the car..... after procrastinating for about 20 minutes looking things over I grabbed a 7/16 and dropped the rear drive shaft...

Happy Easter! Got off the road late Thursday night and enjoyed the long weekend. Had some shop work to catch up on and painted some parts for the bike and wanted to get the trans pulled out of the car, but didn't make it..... Did manage to wash my door panels with soap and water to get the...

I'm wore out just reading this..... then I think of one of my customers that makes chainmail armor by hand.... yikes.... Great post, looks like I need a lot of prep before assembly.

Great Job and Great Inspiration!!!!

Hey All, quick update to the project. The PO basically had in the car completely stripped down and was doing repairs. Dropped off the front fenders, doors, front header and hood to body shop 2 doors down so they can start reviewing and prep for paint. (and give me more room) I got all the...

Been travelling for work a lot but got after things a bit today. Pulled things out for access and will send them over to the body shop 2 doors down. Getting tires that hold air... and pulled shocks and the sway bar. Will do the std front end suspension once I find out from body shop if they...

Got everything to the (full) shop and started to see what I had gotten myself into..... Forged crank and 273 block with stock bores Owner worked part time at an engine shop and went through the heads a while back. We'll double check and see if everything is OK. Said his mom told the...
