She is coming along


With some awesome help from my assistant (wife) I was able to get the engine and trans back in "Ole Blue" last night. (-: At this rate, I hope to send her to paint by the end of June.

My wife is a trooper for sure. The paint is the Parts Place Olds Engine Bronze. I've had other brands before but the color was off (more of a tan-ish than bronze). I got the original intake manifold out of storage and had it acid dipped which revealed some of the original paint. It's an exact match for the Parts Place bronze. (-:

One bite at a time


Almost done restoring the a/c box.

Got the new starter installed. I found it better to remove the exhaust manifold to prevent scratching up everyrhing.
