Re: Maggie's Custom
I'm posting from my phone so I can only post one at a time. But I would say you probably could not have broke down at a better place! 😀

Re: Maggie's Custom
As you can see I cheated. Took the truck over to Johns house to pull the motor, Its like doing it at the doctors office as you can see in the above photo. He made me mop the floor "before we got started"

Re: Maggie's Custom
Just a FYI, incase you didn't know. That pic of the engine in black.....that's a 305 balancer on there.[/QUOTE]
The motor in her truck was a 305 (small balancer) and the "new" motor is a 350 with 305 416 hp heads. I assume he used the 305 balancer because he had it. But a very good eye!!! Thanks Jason I haven't gotten around to using your power steering bracket but as soon as I get the truck sorted out its getting put on!! Thanks Jason |

Re: Maggie's Custom
There is a small group of us building street cars to do a little "no prep" racing, thats John car. Heres mine. I decided not to put a change in my Nova. All of my stuff is going in this car. Its another reason I haven't worked on her truck. The cage is in, motor and trans are built, so as soon as her truck is done, back on the wagon!!

Re: Maggie's Custom
I have to say I love Maggie's truck and you all have done a great job with it. Keep up the great work and good luck on your new engine. Thanks for all of the updates and pictures you have shared with us.

Re: Maggie's Custom
Small block shuffle!
This is what happens when you go to Johns house to work on something, you get to watch. This is what we did most of the weekend with the kids, hence the truck not running yet. We did mange to the the new motor back in! I'm off to Phoeinx to pick up a sign, I'll get back on the truck as soon as I can!! Maggie, Jason, and John |

Re: Maggie's Custom
Maybe I need to drag my junk over to John's to do an engine swap. Looks like that would be a way to see some progress, anyhow.

Re: Maggie's Custom
Jason and Maggie. I bought sail sail custom cab trim on ebay, and let's just say the seller did not clearly identify the amount of overspray on them. I've tried chemicals but cannot get the spray off. In a previous post Maggie was working on hers. What did you do? I don't have a problem taping and painting, but did you sand blast or sand them clean?
See you Saturday at Pistons n Paint. Jerry

Re: Maggie's Custom
Somewhere earlier in the thread he said he used Pulidos plating. they are in the Mesquite area if I remember right. I had my wifes R1 wheels done there and they turned out awesome. he is supposed to be one of the better and affordable guys in DFW.
We got a decent sized little crew here in the Denton area! |
