Re: Project "Black Betty" (bam-A-lam)
Got word from David that the engine work has begun. He sent me the pic below but said he has already installed the correct timing cover & oil pan. He said the valve covers are stripped & ready to go, & he's in the process of getting everything else stripped down for repaint. I asked him how it looked inside, & his response was "like new." Those are definitely encouraging words!

Re: Project "Black Betty" (bam-A-lam)
A little late getting them posted, but I received these pics the 3rd week of March. David said the old orange paint is/was tough stuff! As you can see, pressure washing wasn't too kind to the firewall paint. I'm sure it may have just been spray bombed at some point in the past. There's more evidence of the other red repaint at some point as well. What's neat to me though is seeing the original fawn firewall paint underneath!

Re: Project "Black Betty" (bam-A-lam)
Nothing new to post pics of, but just after Christmas break I spoke with the guy who has the truck. He just retired at year's end, so hopefully we'll be making some progress again soon. We discussed the firewall, & I decided while we're in there to go ahead and paint it back fawn.
In other news, due to a few factors, we made the decision to move back to MS. We haven't lived here since March 2011. We'll be living in Hattiesburg area, which is close to my wife's hometown of Ellisville. Sad to leave some of the things I've grown to love about our old area south of Nashville, TN, but I'm excited to see what the future holds for us back in our home state. I know I'm already enjoying this warmer weather!
