Projects The Further Adventures of a Car Dad and his Family PICTURE HEAVY

Hell yes I'm tore up as a soup sandwich man. I need the vacation

 

Did you register the wagon?

 

yep

 

We'll buy the food Wednesday night

 

Good to hear enloe that fridge full of beer won't last long if we all show up! I guess I better get to getin my tickets ordered up! Joe

 

I have been getting everything ready for tomorrow evening. I have some prep work for Saturday morning. we are yanking the 283 and 3 speed manual out and stuffing the 350/350 combo in. Have to change the column and the pedals out as well.

 

Sounds like a good days work you have planned! Good Luck. Joe

 

Darren and I and Ethan (If we can get him out of bed) will be getting after it saturday morning.

Watch for updates and pics.

 

Normally I would say a good day and you'll be done, but, if you gotta stop to feed Ethan, it may take all weekend

 

Oh and don't forget your buddy here if you decide to move that 283

 

Getting after it

 

I love the Ansen's you have on the wagon.

 

Don't get it right, just get it running

 

Almost ready to lift out

 

saving the pedals for a later project. I will find a 58 through 64 2 door post body eventually.

 

Here’s a few pictures Ethan took so far

 

Did the big guy get his hair chopped off??? Looks like a helluva chicken wing eating crew to me!! Can't wait to see you guys next month!

 

Well that narrows my choices down a bit

 

On the way out

 

Old one out new one going back in.

 

I had a 61 Impala parts car I got all of those parts off of it.

 

It is in

 

You still have time to make it to the local cruise in lol looking good enloe

 

I am just trying to have it ready for Bowling Green next month.

we ran into a few problems today. the clutch fan we were going to use won’t fit inside of the fan shroud. The old fan won’t fit the water pump on the engine. The bolt holes in the fan don’t line up with the water pump.

The yoke on the driveshaft doesn’t fit the transmission.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am trying to change out the generator for an alternator. The pump that is on the 283 is shorter and I wouldn’t have room for the alternator.

 

That’s what I was wondering.
