When you make a commitment before the first motor locks up and you still have to follow through for the 2 oldest kids auto club you show up. Even though she came on the hook she still came.

Just read through your build thread. Inspirational is all I can say. Great respect for your commitment to this old girl. Makes me think of the one comment I heard years ago and resonates to this day…” when I’m working on my cruiser it’s actually working on me”.

You don't know how true that really is
 
I took the block, crank, cam, pistons and connecting rods to a machine shop to get measured for new bearings. Cam bearings, connecting rod bearings, thrust bearings etc. The machinist said that I am probably going to need a new cam because there was a lot of scoring and wear on the cam. The machinist has a 67 forty that he got from a friend's son, the father had passed away and has a bunch of the old parts too. I was going to get a second opinion but I he has a land cruiser so I will stay with him.

So cam bearings, thrust bearings, conrod bearings, and he even suggested new rings. He is going to hone the cylinders and clean it up.
