1 Sharp intake coming up!

 

Ready for the polishing process...

 

This reminds me of every fickin' bolt or screw I had on my car.

 

ok back to the block... oil catch removed

 

Block back on hoist to remove flywheel...

 

Four bolts and 1 inguinal hernia later...

block back on stand... God this is so laborious...

 

removing crank...

 

slowly but surely...

 

Each rod is numbered! Pretty cool...

 

Adios cranky boy!

 

Grab some bench cranky!

 

needs to be balanced, fluxed, changed out for MERC crank etc LOL...

 

Eight Flatty pistons sittin' in a tree...

 

Block devoid of pistonidge...

At the C&B, every meal is cooked with 60yr old ford motor oil... lol

 

Now serving breakfast... Okay I'm sorry... Its late/early and its also my birthday so forgive me... lol

Welcome to the illness doctor!

 

This is one illness I cannot cure my friend... I noticed it at the age of 5 or so!

 

Its an uphill climb....

 

And why would you???

At some point we're going to need to discuss this...


this...


and this...


and how you're going to resurrect this body to be a safe ride for you and the family! Those parts I'll be NO help with, but I look forward to seeing what you can do Whisky!

 

Maybe its an inherited selected gene like sickle cell trait that has a protective effect...

Any ways, still need to order frame set up, get T5 trans, wheels and get a rolling chassis going... The body should be challenging to say the least I've got one word for ya, (well really 2) "Plasma Cutter" and copious usage of aforementioned tool!
