Got my crank back today and started mocking up the
engine... put the 4 corner pistons in and they came
in at what I wanted... they are .010 in the hole...
I'll slip the cam in tomorrow and see what it really is
then once its all mocked up I'll run the crank back to the
crank guy for balancing.... I'll pick up my tubing
for the chassis next week.... been cutting and welding
on the body.... man this thing was rough underneath
but thats gone now... I did have to make up a sill
for the drivers side... I'll weld that in tomorrow

That's a neat project! How are you going to deal with the rust that is left on the body? POR-15 it, sandblast it off, or some other way? Dipping the body to remove the rust and paint would be the ultimate way to take care of it.

Sand blasting and POR 15

Looking good Mike! Did you decide on a class?

I put the Rampage on casters today so I can roll it
out of the shop to do some sand blasting... didnt want
to do it inside... but today its RAINING.... its winter
time here and 46*... hopefully its stop raining tomorrow
and not snow for a couple of days so I can get it
blasted and back in.... wish I had a trough so I could
roll the whole thing through a dip of POR-15

Hey P
Is there room in there for Dale or are you going to make him take take his own truck again. Happy New Year. Ross

Only 9 months left! Better get to crackin' you have a long way to go!

Dale signed up on 460Ford.com and we've been talking about DW over there a little. I sure hope it's a little farther South this year!

Don`t know how my dumb a$$ missed this post............ but that`a a real cool build for sure. Good luck and hope you fare well......wish it was closer so I could join in.
