That’s wild, right? I wonder if I’d given them more time soaking before popping them out, if those wrist pins would have freed up? Who knows. I...
Here’s a riddle. What’s black and now turns over? The Cleveland!!! Well sort of. I finally had enough and started popping pistons out. And...
The bed swap went great. The taillights are functional and she’s all bolted down save the far two that I need longer carriage bolts for. Then...
I should mention I priced out what it’ll run to rebuild with the usual regular parts. Aftermarket cam and lifters, hyper pistons, rebuild kit, and...
I’ve been trying to get test/break in miles on but the dink and dunk little trips to town make it slow going so the youngest and I drove to...
Ya it actually looks pretty ok inside. There’s some vertical scoring in a few cylinders but this was certainly a viable motor. As far as why it’s...
Well she’s stuck, but for reasons that baffle me. The heads are off. The distributor is off. There’s one cylinder that’s rusty. But the rust is...
Today after jeepers breakfast club get together and the boys soccer game this morning, I got home and decided to do a dump run in the Effie before...
Quick update here. The Effie is a runner and a driver. I got her all back together and fluids in just as my father in law showed up for the first...
Today was super productive. I shot over to the far side of town after dropping the boy off at school this morning and harvested the bed side panel...
It was a nice evening today so I opted to work on outside in the strake pocket deletes. The other night I drilled out the top spot welds and air...
Well here’s some progress! The engine and trans are mated and installed. Of course it took a ton of shuffling. Move the new bed with the cherry...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] The Cleveland is coming along. The valves are adjusted, the oil pump pickup swapped and clearance checked to the oil Pan floor,...
Got some time in the barn tonight. I picked up the heads from the machine shop yesterday. The father in law came by and after installing the new...
The bed is getting close. It’s all welded and mostly ground down. It still needs polished with the flap disc. At this point I’m contemplating what...
I was just at the local welding supply yesterday. While waiting for them to swap my bottle I glanced at their hoods. The price swing was $120 for...
I had a hf good for awhile. It was great until it wasn’t, and there’s only one way to find that out. Lincoln makes a killer auto darkening hood...
That looks like she faired fairly well, and you guys did some good trails. I went up jeeping with Kyle’s (norcal69) uncle Mack a few years ago to...
Had a very good day today. Spent much of it fitting and welding the inside of the front bed sides and replacing a section of the “bump” line that...
Today’s progress was not nearly as dramatic. Instead it was a ton of tedious fitting, and spot welding. Still a ton of welding to go but I ran out...
