Tomorrow I (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)


Incase anyone has missed the new thread, the Pittsburgh BBQ is now scheduled for the 24th or June. It's not moving again. So come and visit, help with old rust here, and generally have a good time.

PM me for directions.

Hello fellow East-Coaster!

I'm at the same stage as you with the hell hole/longitudinal, although mine won't take QUITE as oversize cahuna's as yours will! Congratulations on the great work, keep chugging along!

Did some welding and grinding over the weekend.

So much infact that my arms are welder burned (sunburn from the wel spark) and covered in what looks like a rash from the grinder sparks hitting me.

Starting to look better.

No more hole all the way to the floor, and I'm not as concerned about it colapsing any more.

Oh I remember now!!!

My little sister showed up over the weekend and started to tear the motor apart.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

She's better with a screw driver than most guys twice her age and she can't even (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) yet.

She was the one that went with me and dad to go and get the car.

Now the bad news, It looks like the motor is froze. I'll know better as I get it farther apart, but I think a rebuild or replace is in order.

Maybe new pistons and jugs, and a little bump in compression while I'm in there. A good cam from Jake and a bit of carb tuning and I might just have a decient little runner.

Any way on with the pics.

And now a friendly reminder:

Pittsburgh BBQ is in 1 month. 6/24

Open to all comers, even you left coast guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So just hop in the car and head on out here. PM me for directions.

This is why I'm tearin it apart.

There was water in the oil when I drained it, and rust in the cylinders.
