Running strong!

Installing the belts & pulleys...

New AC/Delco battery.  Removing the stupid sticker warning labels.  FYI - don't drink battery acid, it won't agree with you.

Re-shot the water pump pulley

Getting ready for battery install


We decided to reinforce the 'pressed' fitting on the overflow tank.

Clean job - we'll install that tomorrow...

Fan's on



Installing air cleaner boot (comparing to my red '63)

Alternator installed.

Air cleaner boot installed.

Water temp gauge hooked up.

Day 2: Overflow tank going in and heater hoses getting cut & connected...

Adding coolant

A frustrating couple hours w/the oil pressure line.

Noticed an issue. The paint shop forgot to install washers on 2 of the body mount bolts. Ughh.

This is how it should look (my '63 in pic). We'll address that.


Hooked up the starter and battery.

Got it running!




Checked all the gauges, lighting, etc.

Success!
