ONE MORE PIECE





I just had to show the engine again. I might do it with every post from now on. It sure looks cool. Hey, so check out the fender. This would be the passenger side. This was another free score from my sister and her husband. I went and picked up a front clip for the Capri. The fenders are rust free and that is what counts. I began stripping and sanding this one. I want to get this one in primer before winter hits hard. I am not sure if I'll get the shop heated in time. LATER...

THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD...









Here we go. What we have here is my new little project. I have way too many. I found a .30 over 302 block that was casualty of someone elses project that never got finished. I have spent some time cleaning it and doing a little painting. I have installed the cam bearings and most of the "block plugs" I put my aluminum heads on just to see what it will look like. Its going to look mean, we will see if it will run when I'm done. This is only my 2nd engine I've done. But, I will reference an old post. There is something about doing things yourself, just like the old hot rod guys. I am now currently trying to scavanger some additional parts to finish the bottom end. Seeing those heads on the block really gets me motivated to keep working. Keep watching because I am on a roll.

LET THERE BE LIGHT



Watch out because here come some posts. That's right I officially have electricity in the garage and that is what makes that picture so great. What till you see some of the next posts. I am excited!!! I have no clue what the heck I am doing, but it sure is fun. I am working now on getting heat in the garage. If that happens, my wife may never see me again. LATER....
