ABodyBetty's new baby comes home!!!

and on, and on................................

Should be a good day today.
Picking up new water pump this AM. I'm down this far, better to do it now before paint & WINTER!!!
Might go have the Rad pressure tested next week while it's out. Looked like someone dumped some Barrs in it, gray & gooey, yuk!
Ordering new belts & hoses today. Nothing wrong with old ones but no spring in bottom and flex on top. Keep old ones in trunk for spares.
Will be scrubbing/degreasing the pass side of engine & front where timing cover is.
Today we will also be prepping, priming, painting; Fan, pulleys, both sides of core support, back of front bumper, brackets, etc.
Might go on a bead blast run.
Yard Dawg might be helping me romove both outer manifold studs on head (broke off) and he's going to give back my new exhaust manifold. If he does we will be totally going on a bead blast mission!
Taking out rest of AC system under hood area for winter repairs.
Will also be cleaning & painting rad. frame.
Well, see ya for now & stop by later this evening & see how far I got or if I collapsed!!:happy2:
