Using tin foil looks like a neat way to mask off parts that are hard to mask with tape. Good Idea.

 

I'm painting my engine bay also, I may have to use that tin foil idea..

 

Well progress is going to start picking up, the car should be running sometime this summer. Bought a cheap car and flipped it for a few grand, so i ordered a bunch of parts.

Dart 180cc SHP aluminum heads with 2.02 inch valves are on the way, as well as fuel line, and a sender for the gas gauge. Also going to pick up a t56 tomorrow from a guy on craigslist.

Ill post some picks when i get it.

 

Got the t56.

 

Heads are in.. Just a mockup for now. Still need intake, lifters, pushrods, rockers.


Gas tank is going to be dropped next week to install the new carb fuel sender. Also have the center console removed to make the hole for the shifter.

 

Well a lot of progress has been made. Engine is in the car, along with the t56. Clutch pedal works perfectly, and the new fuel lines are ran. Fuel pump is hooked up, radiator is back in, water pump is in. Also picked up a set a vette rims and got some new tires i bought from work. 275 in the rear, 245 up front.

Ordering the headers tomorrow, then i just need the intake, carb, and distributer. Hope to fire it up the end of july/beginning of august.

Dude, your car looks so amazing!

 

Wish my dash looked that good. Looking good man

 

Well engine is just about finished. Got the top end together and she started right up. Sounds strong, and oil pressure is great. Just need to set the timing and tune the carb after the exhaust is installed. Ill post a video after that.

Ordered a magnaflow cat back which should come sometime this week. Hopefully friday i will be able to pick up the plates and get her on the road.

 

Very nice project thread...Enjoyed reading it. Any current updates..?..
