Re: Project "Black Betty" (bam-A-lam)

At the time I was living in Pensacola I didn't have much space, nor tools, to work on the truck. My dad has just about anything i could ever need to build a truck, however he still lives in my hometown in Northeast Mississippi. Therefore, I would have to wait before doing any major restoration or pay someone else to do the work. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for that to happen. I ended up having to get the flywheel replaced. The truck had random moments when it would grind while trying to crank. After that, I just decided to drive it locally since I wasn't really sure how reliable it would be on longer trips. I know some simple mechanics, but i'm not experienced enough to deal with the more in-depth issues that could possibly occur on an old truck i'm just getting used to. So staying in the area, we would sometimes take trips over to Pensacola Beach. Here are some pics I took at sunset:
