Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Yeah, probably be glad that you did in the long run. Give you a chance to detail everything and clean it up nice. No offence to the other post comments, but a 4x4 on the fenders sounded like a train wreck in the making to me...

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Yeah I'm sure pulling the motor will be worth it, everything will look nice and pretty after. That method with putting weight on the fenders did indeed sound like a train wreck, I don't even think evel knievel would try a stunt like that, Well you never know...

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Lotta work ahead...better get to work buddy! lol! Looking good! Man....while that 6 banger is out I'd be replacing gaskets and giving it a chevy 6 blue paint job. Maybe even order me a set of fenton headers and offy dual intake.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Yep I plan to get it out sometime this week, I don't know about Fenton and offy (I'm a bit too cheap) but it'll definitely get a clean up and some nice blue paint , Tj I know you have removed at least one straight six, do you mind giving me some tips on say where to attach the chain to the block when lifting it out. Thanks

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Glad you got it out! The green is going to make that engine stand out. Get ready for a bunch so scraping and cleaning. It's all in the prep work!

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
That looks pretty nice. When I built my hotrod 39 Chevy Truck, I buffed out the firewall one evening and it came out great! Had to many holes in the firewall that I didn't need, and ended up welding them all shut, which ruined the paint. I ended up painting it. You keeping the paint, or using new? I enjoy watching this.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Thanks bill, it sure does look good. It'll look even better when it matches the rest of the truck when it gets painted

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Been spending the past two days cleaning and painting the engine. First I sraped just over 3 lbs of dirt and grease of the engine then I wire-wheeled it and then gave it a wash. The original colour for the 261 is actually almost the same as John Deere green so I used some tractor and implement paint, it's real tough stuff, oil and gas proof and high temp resistant.

Thanks Anthony, I'm planning putting quite a few coats on so if something spills on it I can just wipe it right off. Once the painting is done I'm going to do some pin striping and decals on it

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Very cool engine colors. Did you prime it first or just shoot it with implement paint?
