Re: 1952 Project 1433

Little update from the weekend.

Got the front bumper removed.



The front clip was actually really easy to remove. It was nice that all of the bolts snapped off except for 4 of them.





Picked up a Helicoil kit last week and got the crank/harmonic balancer bolt drilled out and tapped. Got the helicoil installed with some loctite and let it dry for 24 hours before installing the new balancer bolt with more loctite. Tightened it down to 60 ft lbs and now letting it dry for another 24hours. Looks like the helicoil worked because it tightened up real nice and was starting to turn the motor over. So now to let it dry for 24hours.









Also had time and some help to get the B&M shifter linkage hooked up. Shifts nice through all the gears and is adjusted properly.



I hope this week that I have time to get the distributor installed and some other parts. Thanks for checking out my build post.
