Loaded the tub/body, ready for blasting. After the cold spell I can get this over to em. Blaster is less than a mile from our home.
Spoke with Glen for a while today, regarding A 833s and other things, now I'm having second thoughts and just going with the 904 that I have, and a nice factory console on the floor would look nice. There's one on Ebay~
not shown, but there's a bunch more parts on the trailer to be blasted

Here I have my 318 running (it is a used engine, 150psi on each cylinder, oil pressure 50-60) on my engine run stand, runs good, a few days later I installed the valve covers having had to wait for gaskets. I ran it hard, did good. I do need to install a rear main seal, this is a time I was thinking to put another cam~ spoke with Glen and he gave me some ideas. All ideas are welcome. Tired today, going to kick back for a little bit.

Change of plans~ traded the 318/904 for the slant 6 out of a '75 Duster. The slant sounds intriguing and I'd like to make it look nice;) The fella took it out of his duster, drove 6 hours and we swapped. Really nice guy;)
Had some scrap steel and made a little cart to move it around.

Hi, a little update is always nice;) I got the body/tub in primer with a couple coats of high build, then pulled out the rest of the body bolt ons, re-epoxied the support for the decklid. Also bought a slant 6 engine lift plate off of ebay~ excited to make some progress! ;)

My little story on the lower control arm bushings, pretty much speaks for itself;)
For me, I was lucky the bushings were all but gone, I didn't know it months ago.
Now I just need some torsion bars;)
