Interior Ceiling

The old headliner has been ripped out, but it's cotton remains are still left to be seen. Taking a wire brush attached to a drill, I spent the day inside the car getting the ceiling ready for some base paint. It was a lot of work for something that will never be seen by anyone else but those around during this process.

Block Party

Before we take The Monster in to be bored and rebuilt, my cousin Larry wanted to make sure everything bolted up correctly. We got her in there but could get the oil pan to correctly line up. It's my job to research what pan will fit correctly so we don't have a problem once I get the block back. The family showed up to help, my brother, my cousin Larry, cousin Dave, my dad, and my son... Everyone here has helped me with the car in some fashion since I got it.

727 Tourqueflite

Last week I got the call to come and pick up the tranny. Karl, charged me a total of $430 to complete the job which was a steal compared to other shops. He works for a dealership but did mine as a favor for my cousin under the table. He also put in a new shift kit as well. Karl wants me to drive it to the shop once it is complete so he can check out the car as well. I can't wait for the day where I can drive it down the drive way!!!!!

Back in Black

After many conversations about the engine and which direction to go with that, I decided to get back to finishing the base paint around the car. I completed the inside floor, the trunk and the engine compartment. I still have plans to go back through to paint the inner fenders and a few odds and ends.
