Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Since I’m going to keep Walt, I Decided to use the 468/th400 out of Chubby (my 67 C30 camper), so I got him running & moved him into the shop today. It fired right up (after a new battery & gas hose into a gas can) and it went right into gear like a champ. Walter will be a beast with that motor & trans.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Got home this evening and started the removal of the donor motor & trans. I got the core support, radiator and some very interesting parts pulled. I'll try to pull the inner fenders, wiring, plumbing etc tomorrow. Then mounts, fluids etc Wednesday and then whatever I couldn't figure out on Thursday night. Then I hope to get the motor/trans out on Friday. I need to get this beast outta the shop!

Means a lot. I've followed a bunch of your builds, so I like that it meets your strict standard. I wish I had the that '54 you're selling. But I can't do the needed body work. Lol. I was stunned when I saw you were selling it. Thanks a ton! Last edited by nlped; 09-08-2014 at 10:43 PM. Reason: Oops...wrong year |

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Nothing done to Walt, but I did play around with one of my other trucks and slapped my latest wheel aquisition onto it just to see how they look. It's amazing how a set of 22" Raceline Billet wheels can make an ugly truck look sexy

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
That looks like a nice pad for your foundation. Color me jealous! I wish I had the land for a shop to be built.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
It's going to be like a basement, but just the shop. Building it into the hillside to keep it close to the house, but also thought the style would help keep it cool/warm...or so I hope.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
My PB trailing arms showed up today... Looks like I have no excuse for for not getting started... But it's hot, so I will wait a bit longer.
