Technical What are you working on?

are you going to drill and tap those bolt heads to complete the kit?

 

Hardly. The car has 1/4-20 flange nuts already. The only fastener kit I’m going to get is for the grill it’s self. The upper six clip’s are unique so I’ve got no choice but to buy them.

 

We got a bit to clean up also . Fool across the road from my driveway , thinkin because he has a 4x4 he can NASCAR drive on snowy roads .

 

cruising the local listings stumbled across this,
a '63 Olds 394 for cheap..
so of course it followed me home today.
'haven't made even the beginnings of a plan yet,
or even a place to tuck it away
here it hangs like a filthy carcass
it will find another dark corner tomorrow

it's a sickness I tell ya..

 

Don’t get under that without a hard hat on

 

no kidding, the hoist was inspected and certified and no off shore shit there but no way will anybody be under that.
it is resting peacefully on the floor now.

 

Coupe progress

 

Man, I really like that shop

 

I’ve been prepping my Sedan body for some paint at my friends body shop. All finally prepped..I think, that was almost 3 weeks, now masking, two days of it so far..
I’m not painting the complete body, just the bits I’ve repaired, then it will be blended to match the ‘age’ of the original paint.

 

I made the headers for the 348 in my 40, it was a lot of work, I definitely went the long way about doing it, and won’t be doing it again. Showcars sell header flanges for these.

 

The fastest car my parents ever had when I was a teenager was a 1961 Oldsmobile with a 394. I would bet it was a 2-bbl. Later in life I had muscle cars and learned what fast really is but for a 16-year-old kid it seemed really fast.

Makes me jealous. You don't want to see my junked-up shop.

 

here’s pictures of my mess

My dad would say my garage was a Blivot that’s “2 pounds of crap in a 1 pound bag”

 

Here is my shop.

 

Don't know if we're bragging or just showing but here's mine over the years.

 

Currently working on these 2.
