deano1938 · July 28th, 2009

Well after a good look over ive decided to tare the 38 off her frame and start from the frame up. I did get the flat 6 to run for about 3min but it didnt run that great and leaks oil pretty stedily. The u joints are shot front and back. No brakes due to the master cyl being removed at some time, but I have it. Frame looks good and the bottom of the tub looks great. Still looking for a drivers fender, radiator, and the shroud that the grill sits in. Well thats it for now, tommorow is engine removal and frame cleaning day. Im going to post twice to load more picks first set of pics is front day one and two. second post is from today.

THOSE CINDER BLOCKS ARE ON THERE WEAK SIDE. THEY SHOULD BE SET UP LIKE WHEN YOU BUILD A WALL.

i know the blocks are wrong but I will be changing them tommorow as my friend is bringing me about 14 new ones from a job. But thanks for the heads up. Here are a few pics of engine removal and a power washed frame. Also I might be selling the engine and trans. As I have two. 3 speed with cable activated overdrive. Had running for short period of time like 3mins or so sounded ok. trans looks good inside front shifter hole. Where can I get front end bushings??

Thanks
