Today after jeepers breakfast club get together and the boys soccer game this morning, I got home and decided to do a dump run in the Effie before...
Quick update here. The Effie is a runner and a driver. I got her all back together and fluids in just as my father in law showed up for the first...
Today was super productive. I shot over to the far side of town after dropping the boy off at school this morning and harvested the bed side panel...
It was a nice evening today so I opted to work on outside in the strake pocket deletes. The other night I drilled out the top spot welds and air...
Well here’s some progress! The engine and trans are mated and installed. Of course it took a ton of shuffling. Move the new bed with the cherry...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] The Cleveland is coming along. The valves are adjusted, the oil pump pickup swapped and clearance checked to the oil Pan floor,...
Got some time in the barn tonight. I picked up the heads from the machine shop yesterday. The father in law came by and after installing the new...
The bed is getting close. It’s all welded and mostly ground down. It still needs polished with the flap disc. At this point I’m contemplating what...
I was just at the local welding supply yesterday. While waiting for them to swap my bottle I glanced at their hoods. The price swing was $120 for...
I had a hf good for awhile. It was great until it wasn’t, and there’s only one way to find that out. Lincoln makes a killer auto darkening hood...
That looks like she faired fairly well, and you guys did some good trails. I went up jeeping with Kyle’s (norcal69) uncle Mack a few years ago to...
Had a very good day today. Spent much of it fitting and welding the inside of the front bed sides and replacing a section of the “bump” line that...
Today’s progress was not nearly as dramatic. Instead it was a ton of tedious fitting, and spot welding. Still a ton of welding to go but I ran out...
Well I’m waiting on engine parts and found a home for the 72 parts truck so I finally decided to try and make a short wide bed. The flare side bed...
I really wish I had an answer to that question. The mouth of both rods and caps are exactly where they should be. This is particularly stressful...
Well last night did not go as planned. The rod caps on numbers 1 and 5 were just not going on nicely. Which meant more tapping required to get the...
I’ll post pictures soon but I’ve slowly been working on the Cleveland. The rings are all gapped and installed on the pistons and all of the rod...
To be honest I kind of figured she’d be stuck having been stored in this climate. I’m still optimistic it’ll free up and run. If not she’ll be in...
That’s genius, I’ll try that out!
The cylinder hone is done. That was fun. The first hone job I’ve done in about 18 years, which was also a Cleveland. The hone cleaned nearly all...
