FINALLY got our 1949 engine jerry-rigged onto our engine stand! Can't wait to take it apart, clean it, and get it running again

Stephanie · 07-02-2012, 09:56 PM

I also got really bored when the power went out and created this fun way to stay motivated:

Got up at 5a.m. and dropped the motor and trans in before the heat. Its 7:30 now and already 84.

1 bootlegger · 07-03-2012, 09:14 AM

Looks good crossfire84 with BB thier should be no shortage of torque or power. I live about 100 mi. north of you and found if I work with doors and windows closed fan running at floor level the humidity and heat isn't as bad.

mknittle · 07-03-2012, 09:19 AM

Getting ready for some overhead welding.

thanks for the tip!

OrrieG · 07-04-2012, 12:34 AM

Scored a Presmog Qjet off a running truck for $30, it even came with the choke heat dog house (that I bought for my Chevelle for $20). Cleaned it up and will install tomorrow. This replaces the one I had put on it, but pulled when the Chevelle Holley went Tango Uniform. Also figured out the AC, just need to get a couple of bulkhead fittings and I can get the hoses done and the unit installed.

crossfire84 · 07-04-2012, 04:39 PM

nothing, too darn hot, went to a local car show. here are a few shots.

mknittle · 07-04-2012, 09:28 PM

I looked at it.And tryed to introduce my wife to the DA sander, didn't have much luck though

mknittle · 07-04-2012, 09:46 PM

Really I just took some pictures. I finished the welding on the coil-over mounts and cleaned the rear end up a little yeasterday.

rollenhard · 07-04-2012, 10:12 PM

Lookin' Good. What brand of coilover are you going to use?

mknittle · 07-05-2012, 09:21 AM

Thanks Rollenhard and chevette

Chevette,
I am using QA1 Alumamatics with 250# springs.

Russell Ashley · 07-05-2012, 03:05 PM

It's 96 here, still too hot to do any outside work but I did get my radiator overflow tank installed. This tank is out of a Ford van (can I use that word here, LOL) I just wandered around Pull-A-Part until I saw one that looked like I wanted. It fits good and only took a couple of "L" brackets to bolt it up. I also got a windshield washer bottle and pump out of an S-10 but haven't installed that yet.

72Mountaineer · 07-06-2012, 03:43 PM

I turned it upside down.

mknittle · 07-06-2012, 09:29 PM

I took the doors off And started working out a plan to replace rusty floor panels

lowdownstar · 07-06-2012, 09:51 PM

I installed the forward tilting hood kit last week now i am trying to work out a plan to build something the hold the hood in place with out that stupid rod it comes with. i think i can do it with a little plasma cuttting and some welding, god i love nice tools lol

Yes, nice tools, cold beer (kept cold in one's beer fridge, stationed in the garage). Just wish the neighbors didn't like nice tools and cold beer so much. What brand of plasma cutter do you have. Mine is a Miller 675 Extreme. It works well. Good luck with your hood.

OrrieG · 07-06-2012, 11:02 PM

Dug out the stock window and door parts to start cleaning and fabing for one piece windows.

I'd like to see some pics of that procedure. I have the one piece glass and the power assembly, but I don't have the channel and the seal/whiskers. I'll be paying attention and begging for pics.

I saw one that used hatch gas cylinders.

coralhead · 07-07-2012, 09:55 AM

I am planning on looking at the truck through the kitchen window while drinking iced tea. Too blasted hot out and looking for 106 today in S Indiana. I did do some bed wood work this morning from 7-8:30.
