    Nice Austin, when I look at this, all I can hear is that, (Bad to the Bone), song, and it’s got real 1/4 windows.

    More body work and some lyons caps. IMG_5580.jpeg think he’s currently giving himself a well deserved breather from it for a bit.

    probably wonders what it’s like to have finger prints again lol

    still can’t believe he’s gotten so much done in such a short time.

    Is there a "Go Fund Me "account to help you get another light bulb setup for your garage to see better when the sun goes down ?

    IMG_4453.jpeg Sanded the shitbox down and made it one color gotta do a little more work around the back window and install the below deck lid panel and the body is as far as I’m gonna take it for the foreseeable future. I’m ready to drive this thing and meet up with my buddies . Oh and make the inside presentable thinking about making a bench seat off my buddy’s templates. IMG_4477.png

    Saw your post about the flathead flywheel on FB. Is the flywheel that messed up or has the flathead just worn out it's welcome and you're wanting something different

    @redzula its fought him pretty much every step of the way since it landed in the rails. This particular flywheel is the correct flywheel but it just didn’t have as much life left in it as he thought. Waisted some teeth it appears.

    a chevy , adapter, cap half the necks on the radiator and keep moving forward.

    Yeah the old flathead has pissed me off for the last time runs good and was overhauled at some point has adjustable lifters and a new starter needs a flywheel I have a resurfaced one but if I pull it out to fix it it’s not going back in will trade for a neat sbc or a y block
