Ol' Blue 1970 - It's Quite a Story

[olblue1970]

Today's little project was cleaning, priming and painting the engine mounts that will going in with the new engine. They sharpened up nicely.

Today, my friend finally got a few moments to bring over an A-Frame so we could get my new engine out of its shipping crate. He's going to be on vacation for two weeks, so I will use the time to paint the engine and other parts before he gets back. When he gets back, we'll pull out the old 305. Before we put the new engine in, I'm going to take the time to try and clean up and repaint the engine bay and do some other necessary body work while I have the access to the area.

I plan to post more pics when I paint the engine. It should be soon.

Hey Folks,

I'm trying really hard to complete this project. Run into a little electrical snag. I started a thread over in the electrical section. Here's a link to it.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I just need the lights working properly so I can pass the safety inspection.

Thanks!

Love this! This gives me alot of inspiration for my project. A 1971 GMC Sierra Grande 2500 with a '72 Cadillac 472 stuffed under the hood. It is my daily driver, I just need to get out there like you did and start touching stuff up. Keep up the great work!
