Re: My 63 Project

Re: My 63 Project
I like your truck build, keep up the amazing work on it. Your new 383 sounds like it will be a great engine for your '63. Keep the updates coming and good luck with getting it all together.

Re: My 63 Project
Parts are looking good! Having a blast cabinet is the only way to go. Way easier than cleaning the dishwasher from greasy parts!

Re: My 63 Project
After spending so much time on the firewall, I pretty much made up my mind that I could spend MONTHS getting it perfect and realizing that I can't do that, I went ahead and cleaned it all up, primed it and painted it.
I suppose we all get to the point where we know we aren't making a Ridler.... So get it done and make it look good. |

Re: My 63 Project
One full coil plus 2" in the drop spindles should bring the nose down some.

That was pretty easy. Hand packing wheel bearings is not so fun.
