Last few weeks...........

Got the 394 for the 56 Olds flushed out and ready for new freeze plugs and paint. I am hopeing to get this engine swapped into the car in the next few weeks if the weather starts to dry out. Whoever had this engine rebuilt it but didn't have it hot tanked.

The last few weeks..........

Got Daryls 48 ready for paint, engine, tranny, rearend and rewire. It will be an awesome daily driver with a heater now!

The last few weeks.......

Bought an old shifter kart with an 80cc 6 speed. Pulled out the 80cc because I picked up a 360cc 6 speed yamaha. Ordering new bearings, sprocket and chain. Might extend the frame behind the seat by 5" so the new engine and new seat will fit (I'm 6'2")...

My wife putting the top end back on the engine.



The last few weeks....

Started on the dash for the truck.

Went to the Puyallup swapmeet this weekend.

Didn't really find anything we needed but still got some stuff. I picked up a first issue of Scrape for a buck, some hotwheels and 2 aftermarket 56 olds hubcaps. Nikki found some garbage pale kids cards and one hubcap that she liked. After the meet I picked up a whole 8 3/4" mopar rear end with the 3.91 gears I was looking for for my truck. The housing will go in the 48 this summer when we install the 4 link.
Nikki also got the new KYB shocks installed in her Dart today and I got the new gaskets for the 394. The bio for the 56 olds will come later this week.
