Conn47D24 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Machine shop is getting close on my engine rebuild. Giving her a bath before flatbed trip to the shop. 5 years of dirt on top of the 30 years of dirt ! Body and paint later this summer. If all goes well I'll be in the garage all winter mounting trim , chrome and anything else I can get done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me like you are making excellent progress and that you will have a very nice car when done. My only advise at this point is to take a couple of tranquilizers before going to the chrome shop for a re-chrome estimate. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebruns1 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Just out of curiosity, what is the machine shop quoting you on the engine re-build? I'm curious to see what it's going to cost me when I'm ready. Ultimate cost will influence my decisions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn47D24 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Well, long story but this is a barter transaction. I'm a Realtor , sold his house several years ago. I've had access to a shop for the last few years it's been invaluable to me cleaning and prepping and Sandblasting parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn47D24 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) I have been working on the chrome for many years. Large items done. Waiting on $400. Worth of small bits now. What do the boat Owners say about a hole in the water where you put your money?? Edited July 4, 2018 by Conn47D24 Spell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
