And what's with all of the oil deposits? I know you don't need any corrosion protection out there.

And that rod through the control arm pickup points trick, where'd you learn that from.

Nice work Sieg, keep it up.
Norwood has enough bondo, thankfully it's not lead or he would be 200 lbs. heavier.

The first two pictures were taken 5 years ago BF (before fire) after having the motor freshened up and telling the machine shop how much I hate oil leaks, new Milodon pan, timing cover, Felpro one piece silicone gasket, Right Stuff sealant, and assurance that it wouldn't............it only leaks half as much.

The rod trick came from the masochist of measurement..........I think you know the guy.

Thanks

It's leaning against the wall......waiting for social security to fund it.

If the subframe comes out, so does the motor and that means upgrades that don't mesh with poor Norwood's current budget limitations.

That should have been a driver re-install.

I finished what the StarBright media couldn't yesterday with my tried and true electric drill and wire wheel.......



I'll treat the uppers and lowers with Ospho today since I had good results on my floorboards prior to painting with POR 15.


If you're not familiar with Ospho, I'd check it out. I've used the product over the last 30+ years and have been very impressed. www.ospho.com

I ordered 3 aerosol cans of POR 15 Top Coat in Chassis Black yesterday so I should have the pieces painted Tuesday night if all goes well.
