New project. Done by Nov 12th??? ***pics***

used an early '70s Ford one that is for Disc/Drum since my car has been clipped. The prop valve is the one that was already on the GM clip. HTH

 

My internet connection has been messed up, so no updates but....

Motor and ****** mounts are made. Started to work on the motor, and found that the "running" motor I got, barely turns, and has been left outside without the intake on it for a good while. #6 sounds like the rings are real rusty.

Radiator, heater core and gas tank are all at the radiator shop, but they have yet to call and let me know that the stuff's ready nor has the driveshaft shop.

We'll see guys.......................................

Oh yea, anyone got a dipstick for a 700R4???

 

car didn't make it out to Pistons & Paint, but outta be pretty close on her... got the motor spinnin pretty good, new timing chain and waterpump put in. Now, all I lack is... everything.

 

oh yea... Frank threw a little artwork and striping on the dash real quick the other day...

 

gonna call it the Green Dragon? or Dragin my Wang? lookin nice man!

you figure out what your gonna do about the back half yet?

 

LMAO

Since the frame is also bent, and not just the sheetmetal, I'm gonna go ahead and get it all pulled at a later time.

 

Got the driveshaft for it today. For some reason, the "700R4" yoke bottomed out in the trans and I had to trim it. Anyone know if some are more shallow than others?

 

It's been awhile since I got to work on the car... anywho, picked up my radiator, heater core and gas tank from the radiator shop. the bill was only $440.00! Started stringing the wires under the hood today.

I have to get to jury duty next Friday somehow, so hopefully it'll be running. hehe...

 

Didn't do ****... but I did take a pic of the new heater core and painted toe board.

 

Very nice great motivator

 

Seymour,

Bad ***, too bad you didnt make your deadline, however you haul'd *** and did a killer job at the same time!!! Thats an achievement in its on right. AWESOME! Keep the pics comming!

BTW, is this the project you needed the rear stainless for??? I'd mentioned about a shoebox the other day in the chat...

 

nah... that's for my '49.

here are some pics... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64648

 

Got to work on it for a little bit today. I decided to mount the bal. resistor and coil out of the way under the heater motor duct since the duct is an easily removed piece. I'm sure I'm gonna kick myself someday, but I decided to wrap the harness that way the wiring doesn't show as much.

 

oh yea, I am gonna clean and paint the duct.

 

here's a pic from today.

 

Finally got the right power steering pump, after four tries today. Ignition cylinder is switched out with the new key etc, wiring for ign, gauges, and light are all laid out.

So, tomorrow, gonna rig the sending unit, run the fuel lines, bolt the newly painted alt and ps brackets on, put the sheet metal back on, solder all the wiring, run hoses, and rebuild the carb. That's all.

I've decide to clean and paint the inner fenders at a later date, when I jamb the car.

 

Started the car briefly the other day. Carb needs to come back apart. Gonna wire the turn signal, headlights, parking lights and the horn, then I'll be off to get tail pipes and an inspection sticker!

 

I wish I had the motavation couldnt ask for better weather though.

 

where's the pics with the front tin back on D ?

 

Fixed the carb, wired it all, except the parking lights, got the sticker, put hangers on the pipes, and DROVE it today! weee!!!!!!

 

Looks like **** w/o the hood, grille, and the bumper on. Not to forget, the front end is high enough to give me a nose bleed! haha

 

FINALLY!!!!

 

here it is after $7736.81. Boy this things gonna be a money pit by the time it's lookin nice...

 

oops. here are the pics.

 

schweet!

so she be a driver and all now eh? NICE plates holmes

PS...you're right, you're gona git a nosebleed with the car sittin like that

 

yes, very nice runnin little thing. hasn't leaked ONE drop. pushes a little oil, but that's b/c I haven't hooked the PCV up. lol...

 

oh yea, power steering is beautiful. steer the ****er with just one finger all day. leaves the other hand and fingers for uh... who knows.

 

got the front wheels blasted and painted and some Goodyears on the front.

 

hey... nice shiny paint!!!

now squirt some on the CAR!

 

The car's coming along nicely! I'm really looking forward to seeing it in that green paint! (But not as much as you are) Thanks for the updates.
