The engine is coming togheter step by step aswell, crank is back in the block and two pistons with rings aswell. I realy prefer to bring old blown up or worn out racengines to life over these engines ripped out of neglected dailydrivers. A worn out or blown up race engine is most of the time...

oh and yeah i just couldnt help myself,of course i had to practice my skills as a painter some more in case i ever want to start a brand new failure known as "terrible paint with drips and runs inc"

The i made the final piece out of 1.2mm sheetmetal. Thats metric and im sure it can be converted into both fractions out of inches or decimalinches (in any of the comonly used flavours of inches,old Swedish inches,withworth or why not imperial) aswell as gauges but its probably ok this way to...

Then i figured,i just cant have an oilpan without a baffle,why i need a baffle to drive to get me a burger or tunnbrödsrull i have no idea but i just couldnt help myself. Oh and yeah i know i shouldnt be left anywhere near sheetmetal with tools but i guess i just had to learn that lesson again...

Painted white.

Tank in primer

Got a few more things done, the 20 year old plastic fuelcell is probably not a good idea,so why not spend some more money and do the right thing the somewhat right way. The new fueltank has a a 3/8" outlet and a 5/16 return, aswell as a fuellevel sender,that will be a nice feature,im probably...

Cool those are not as comon as they used to be!

This my friends is why we dont rip cars apart and then leave them taken apart for ten+ years unless everything is named. i have no idea where that part of the wiring harness is supposed to connect to but im sure it will become obvious at some point. found those cables in a box. who knows they...

got alitle done inside the car.

broken pistons for future reference and the fact that people tend to like pictures.

Hammered in the new cam bearings,that seemed to work ok,all the holes are in the right place and even tried putting a camshaft in them and yes it does spinn with ease so i guess i did something somewhat right.. Also descided on measuring the main bearings and they will be reused,they are all at...

Good to see you back on here!

Ok back on track,unless something goes sideways i think i have a plan for the engine that is somewhat doable. Will use the better block with its heads,crankshaft,lifters and pistonrings. will use the complete set of pistons out of the worse core,they are all stamped with id numbers and i just...

Brought home another 360 Magnum,this one came in the flavour better known as well done. Is the camshaft any better in this new specimen? well kind of but nope. Pistons then? well i did take a good look at two of them and i could not find any cracks in those two pieces so thats good since all i...

went to a swapmeet today and found a brand new to me petronix distributor with a suitable coil for a somewhat tollerable sum of money in case the old system that was last used 15+ years ago has deleted on its functionality since last it was run.

Need to add something that made a good impression on me,a whole bunch of the stuff i bought was made in the USA!

Got the 904 back from the transmissionshop,newly rebuilt with a few good upgrades,tested and ready to run:) Said 904 is back in the car,this time without atempting to create severe bodily and mental damage. Learnt that a cargostrap between the torsionbars is a great way to kind of secure the...

Brougth home what seemed like a nice used 360 Magnum aswell to get me closer to a running and driving car. So far i have found #1 and #5 pistons are cracked. #8 intakelobe on camshaft is toast #8 cylinder has light scratches. #7/8 rodjournal on the crank has very minor scratches aswell...

Got a nice deal on a 5.7Hemi out of 2012 Durango Months ago,have started dissasmbly of it and it appears as if the junkyards claim that its just a rebuildable core that cant be used as is due to a bad sound from one of the heads was just a severe exhaust leak:D o well got to have alitle luck...

She finaly got "new" to me rear wheels, those used 15x7 centerlinestyle wheels came up at the right price and got a set of brand new 275/60R15s Cooper Cobra Gt for them, love the look and realy need to put up a couple pics soon.

Slow progress i know. Got some new brakehoses,figured might as well change all 3 while im changing that rear hose that is visualy damaged,before i start making that long brakeline from distributionblock to rear hose.

Heater box back in the car,i had forgot how much fun it was to wrestle that thing into place,and i have also forgot where i lost the bracket and seal that seal the firewall around the heatertubes,o well thats just another few little pieces to fabricate before i get to drive the thing again.

Put the heaterbox togheter again,darn those things do not age well,o well it will be good enough for me. One step at the time. That roll of window seal will probably work darn good,was probably a misstake to worry about it.

Picked up the new heater core yesterday,also bought a roll of sealer and a roll of brakeline and tubeflaring tools while i was shoping. Painted inside of floorboards today. making progress,slowly.

got started on some radiatormounts,i have a long way to go.

Got the car back and now its in a whole lot less terrible shape. Also on the second attempt i managed to find almost the kind of right shade of white paint to cover the new sheetmetal with, ooh and i rediscovered what a terribe painter i am but i couldnt care less. i also redid the 20 year old...

Garagespacesituation has been corrected,ended up buying a house with my significantly better half,not a good place to weld unfortionaly,however i did also find a good bodyshop run by an American owner who is presently replacing the floor and rockerpanels. Very refreshing to see the the progress...

Thank you that looks great! We all got to stay within our limitations:)

That thing looks so good! What sizes are the tires and wheels?
