I haven’t had chance to update the site for a while, but I’ve spent loads of time on the car. I pulled the motor and then hung the axle on the new springs. Once it was all rolling, I pulled the front end off again, then cleaned it all up and etched and painted it to match the rest of the frame. I also put a shock bar in, that looks awful, but should work fine. Whle the engine was out I decided to pull the pan and see if I could find why it wouldn;t turn over easily. I spent a few hours trying to get it on my cheapy engine stand without stopping the crank turning, then gave up and took the grinder and welder to it. I now have a chevy only stand!.The problem seems to be the pistons not moving in the bores without a lot of force, another thing to look at. Oh and my new wheels arrived after a year, they look the absolute business but have the wrong backspacing and won’t fit under the car. I felt like setting fire to it by the time I packed in today. I wont though, but I may hit it with something heay till I feel better.
