Dusty's Winter Project #2

dustymopar · Post by **dustymopar** » Wed Jan 16, 08 1:18 am

Dusty's winter project was supposed to be decorating the Hall, Stair & landing

I dont think so......

Last year I was sucessful in repainting underneath and inside the trunk, installing new fuel cell, fuel line, rear axle & suspension rebuild, interior alterations, 4 speed to auto conversion, general weight loss & the list goes on

This year we are concerntrating on the front end, with the motor out, and body stripped I am planning the repaint the front end, carry out some engine mods, rebuild the front suspension & steering.

Update to follow

The motor does look strange comin out like that

Things have moved on since the weekend - hard graft with a blow torch, stripping wheel and a bag of Roloc's

Thanks

There was a whole load of underseal under the fenders that has kept things in order - and a whole load of Genuine Arizona Sand

My ability & facilities wont allow for a 'top-notch' concours job, but I am hoping for a decent result!

Looking good

I bet your delayed decorating doesn't get the same treatment.

Hey dusty, does that motor run a bit lean? valves look very white???
