Well I forgot about this thread with all the different cars I have going right now Bob..

I rebuilt the Hotsy and got the underside cleaned.

Engine is cleaned up and back together.

This is were I'm at today.

Engine is painted and I'm test fitting the new exhaust. If I get some ambition I'll start painting the underside this afternoon.

Looking good! Nice color

Lanolin based undercoat finally showed up...

Hope it dries like the stuff that was on there ..

 

[bobm]

Ya I hope too. They have this stuff up here called NHOU. Needs to be applied every year and does'nt dry. Must piss off a lot of mechanics

 

[J Mack]

Sorry @bobm I forgot about this build thread with all the projects I have going right now..
Here's an update.
Transmission looked new with zero signs of clutch or bearing wear so it just got new seals and put back together.

I don't have any good pics.....

Engine/transmission are back in and I'm a week or so from starting and breaking in the new cam.

Love it. Saw update on the Chevy too. Looking good. Awesome work

So Caddy was that clean, seems like it went pretty quick. I know you still got more.

Only had to rebuild the engine, transmission,rear end, hydraulic top pump, generator, starter, entire brake system, speedometer, clock, six-way adjustable seat mechanism, clean paint and put it all back together. So yeah not too bad..
Took if for a little joy ride this afternoon to work out a few little issues...
