Another day I did not getting used sitting on Reserve, so I decided to get the engine bay a little detailed up and the engine installed. I dusted some In Violet around the engine bay along with some satin black to continue the overall "worn" look in the engine bay. Pretty happy with it, overall, considering the sheen on the FC7 matches the overall dullness of the rest of the car. Those happy shiney people are so overrated!

So with that comes the engine drop in!! Moving right along! I degreased the K-Frame along with the steering box. Luckily, a few more marks showed up that I'll replicate when I restore the car later on.

Now the easy fun stuff begins!

Cheers
Dave

Thanks Tony! Been doing some reassembly of the front end and very happy with how the AMD front valance fits up. Hood next followed by some more FC7 sprayed around.

Stay tuned for engine bay hook 'em ups, dash and wiring installation, send everyone's favorite: The Busted Front Glass Show staring many cut fingers and wrist lacerations!

Cheers
Dave

Thanks, Darrel! More parts are coming in and thanks to Rusty, the Goodyear F70s are ready to go on! can't wait!

I came across an NOS DR1114442 idle solenoid along with bracket! I mounted it up, but was wondering how the heck this thing worked! . Come to find out that when James had the carb restored (he had two parts carbs to make one good one), it was missing the arm that attaches to the throttle shaft that the solenoid uses. Now I'll have to (Jim...I know you're watching! ) find that arm. Ah, the hunt for parts. Always makes for a good time!

Routing a few things under the hood. Getting closer!

Cheers
Dave

Hit the paint store today for some supplies for the 52 Truck and picked up a quart of FC7 to dust on the hood and valances in the coming weeks. New dash harness is going in! More updates over the weekend!

Cheers

“to dust on the hood and valances” ...sure like the sound of that!

I really like the direction you’re going with this car.

Thanks, Guys! I just ordered the left rear trunk floor extension along with a lower quarter panel patch. Although that may take away from her Crusty Cuda moniker . Nah, just like the Beater Bee, the name sticks!! Those two patch panels, along with two holes in the trunk that I’ll splice in some new metal to fix, will finish up the rust repair on her! Once that’s done I’ll blend in the FC7 around those areas too.

Exciting progress seeing the rare parts go back on which were sold off from her years ago. Stuff like the reverse lock out linkage, clutch safety switch, and rear speaker fader switch. Fun stuff!!!!!!

Cheers
Dave
