can't wait to see it in person. I'm at all the shows, come up and BS with me at one of them.


Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural

when I got the car, ot only had four leaves on each side, so we added a second main, and another partial. the wheels are 15x8 Cragars, with alot of offset. It rides a tad stiff, but I love the look.

I have enjoyed reading this build. I wish more people had your attitude towards cars and did not get so wrapped up in the money and numbers and focused more on having fun (no offense to the numbers guys). I can't wait to see where this goes! Hopefully it will be tearing up the streets soon

Well, the weather broke and I am back on it. I got the old temperature sending unit tapped out and the new one in. Tonight I will scrape old gaskets off and get the water pump housing back on. Hope to have the front of the engine buttoned up and the cooling system filled up tonight. Then I'll fire it up and set the timing. I need to get some small things Saturday in Columbus at the swap meet. Then after we get three nice, healthy rain showers, I'll start putting some miles on. Just locally until I get an exhaust system on it.

Victory! Followed by defeat. Got it back together, running, and moving. Then the freeze plug on the drivers side rear of the head let go. Don't know if I'll be able to remove it and replace it without pulling the head or if I will have to yank the head. If I pull the head, I may pull both and get some work done. Hmmm...

It can be done as I did it on my Super Bee without removing the head. We used one of those long clamps often used in wood working. I'm not sure what they are properly called, but there is a hand crank on one end. In a nutshell, we adjusted the clamp to be roughly the width of the head. On the non-crank side, we replaced the end piece with a bolt. Next, we lined up the crank end with the front freeze plug, and the bolt with the back freeze plug.
As we tightened up the crank, the bolt pivoted the rear freeze plug out.
To install the new plug, we replaced the bolt with a flat washer the same diameter as the plug. Tightening the hand crank pressed the new plug in.
Worked perfect.
