Re: 1952 1 Ton Rebuild

Yeah, I just thought I'd try and wait out the server switch.

I tried going to a swap meet to sell of some parts, but there was a bigger meet about an hour north of where I as that stole all the thunder. Sadly I came out with more than with what i come in with, and I spent more than I sold.

Anyways, I got the Junior Grass Roots Engine Building Team together , and put the 327 together. The last few parts I needed (or so I thought) were the main bearings, and the piston rings, so I got them all installed.
But my cam bearings were a bit screwed up, and I remember the PO said he took out the bearings to have the block re honed, but he never got around to it. So that's the last step (hopefully) with the motor. Then we can get it running!

About a week ago, a friend mentioned I only had 2 weeks of summer left till senior year, and that kinda lit a fire under my ass.
So I got the passenger side kick and cowl panels installed, and I just finished the driver side cowl panel today.
The picture of the kickpanel was of this morning.
