Looking good. The paint on the block looks like it came out right.

 

yes, the builder painted it again,...he only removed the heads and intake and painted everything else, which pissed me off, but o well,...

 

Looking SWEET!!! Anxious to see it complete.

 

you and me both brother,..i gota get cracking, summer will be here soon,....

 

wait wait wait....... you spent the money for aluminum heads and your running stock rocker arms?

WHAT THE F*CK?????

spend less than 200.00 on a set of crane energizer 1.6's and you'll be much better off.

 

Wow!

 

starting to come together,...all new wire harnesses, water pump, coil, alt, brackets, valve covers, battery, etc,..waiting on pulleys, radiator and carb to finish up the engine,...still need to drop tranny off for rebuild,...shouldnt be long now before we try and fire it up,...i cant believe i got this far by myself,..this is the first car i have worked on to this extent and never saw myself acomplishing something like this in a million years....but yaaaay for me!, lets just hope it works, haha

 

i was told they would not make that much of a difference,...i want to get the car together and running and then if need be ill change to some later on,...my main concern is bringing life back to a car that sat for 20+ years,...

 

Hey I just really enjoyed surfing through this thread... That is one incredible project and like someone else said, you make it look too easy!
Nice work, I will look forward to seeing the rest of your progress.
Good luck!

 

i wish it was easy, this has been one of the hardest projects i worked on, its my first old car so i am learning as i go,...its weird cause everyone that sees the car and what i have done to my other cars tells me i have a serious talent and something special, BUT I do not know whats so special about it,...i wish i could get into the automotive industry, but everyone i have talked to about a job is not interested since i havent went to school for this,...its just a hobby that has become more then love, something i want to do for the rest of my life,...

i have been in the food industry and worked my way up and willing to give that all up to wake up every morning and go to work doing something i love,...not to many people can wake up every morning and love what they do and love going to work,...

i figure i spend all my free time in the garage anyway, why not get paid for it,...so ill keep trying to wiggle my way into the automotive business,...

but thank you for the inspiration,..i have a ton more pics to post up
