I have to ask.... Why not share the name? Seems that might help others.

The guy was let go and about the time I was suppose to be sending my motor back his father passed away. In the end I took care of it locally and now I know everything has been corrected. If you look in my build thread you will be able to find out who built the motor way back in 2012.

I haven't been doing much on the '33 but finally got back on it and got the rear end all buttoned up. Had Ridetech make me some upper and lower arms with "R" joints, BMR housing swivel bushings, cleaned and painted the calipers, new rotors and pads and all that's left is to bleed the system.

Of course I had to see what the new rims looked like on there

Looking good and I understand trying to make time to work on these projects is sometimes very difficult.

Great wheel choice. :thumbsup:

Got the kids out of detention yesterday so now to get them reattached and back in the chassis. Both were new rebuilt E-bay purchases by the previous owner and came with the car. Both needed rebuilt. Trans guy found a bad bearing, bad bushing, bad pump housing. Had him install a TCI constant pressure valve body while he was in there and I got a Boss Hog 3200-3500 converter for it. Engine had bad valve guides and bent valves, sloppy main caps and a lot of crud in the oil galleries. Almost $4500 later, it's all done and done right this time.

Nothing’s ever easy with you Frank, is it? :lmao:

I always try to test fit things before getting in too deep, just like i'm sure a lot of you do. I previously mentioned "When cranking it sounds like the starter and flywheel and torque converter don't like each other." Well, it seems the flex plate and converter bolts don't exactly line up just right and he must have forced the bolts to go in creating a somewhat slight off center flex plate/torque converter alignment and it seems the flex plate is a little warped. I was really hoping to have all this back together and in the chassis this weekend but looks like i'll be waiting on a new flex plate.
