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.

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.

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...

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.

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??
