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.

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.

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.
