The Monster
440 cubic inches of raw power... Here begins the second part of this restoration, the motor and trans. We have begun dissembling The Monster piece by piece. The 727 Tourqueflite tranny is being rebuilt by a friend of my cousin Larry.
As for us, my cousin Larry, my dad, and myself started taking bolts off and placing parts into boxes. What at first seemed to be huge mound of dirt, now resembles the turquoise engine that came off the factory line many years ago.
Floor Score and Seven Days Ago...
Sanding the floors was a rough task on my knees. It would have been nice to lay on carpet, but I guess I'm working towards that. I sandblasted the rough areas of the floor and wiped some cancer spots off. What was left was just surface rust. After the sand again penetrated my ears, I slapped some black paint on the floor. I'm not done with the paint but the first coat is there.
