New at this so let me know what you think or have any ideals on the improvement.
Started this project back in April 2011 with plans to complete by summer's end 2011. Hasn't quite worked out, but the project is finally starting to come together.
We'll begin with some pics before and during the teardown then on to some progress pics.
pic1 as purchased
pic2 grandson ready to drive
pic3 & 4 body's off engine and transmission to go - frame is excellent shape
pic5 & 6 body has mimimal rust for a 76 year model
pic7 & 8 frame after sandblasting and painting with por15 coating
pic9 added shims to accommodate the T18A transmission
pic10 new brake and fuel lines installed
pic11 engine, transmission & tub reinstalled - tub was sandblasted and then sent to paint shop for some black metal flake paint.
