damn, whats up with your back man?

 

[Boggin]

pulled a muscle says doc.

im not gonna order that dis cap an wires. i found a bunch of wires i had for my b2 so i will use them for now and the current dis cap. im gonna try not to spend too much money on her on parts that arent NEEDED. im thinking when i get her done i might try to sell her to find a 73-79 f150/250/350. id try to get 600 or id keep her. but who knows i might not even sell it. either way im still gonna keep her for several months. if she needs to much work to pass inspection when im 16, ill sell her. if she passes, ill keep her and use her on the road.

got the rear main seal put in today and the base pan put back on and the motor mount insulators took off the block, need to get a new mount cause the passenger side one snapped off when i tried unboltin it when i took out the motor. and i got some paint picked up that i might paint the motor with and got the firewall and frame painted.

looking good buddy

thanks man. when i pulled the motor i twist off a motor mount so 'sloue' is sending me a set since hes a very nice guy lol but tonight i installed the valve covers, coil, block ground, torque converter, and i think thats it.
so now i gotta wait for sloue's mounts to get here, so i got bored so installed the side turn signals on the quarter panels, and then i decided i would try to fix my mount that i twist off. its hard cause the head of the bolt is just against the rubber side of the mount so it cant be welded, but where the bolt goes through, the bottom side is metal so i could weld it there. and my welding improved alot.

random beads

i done the mount this way first and realized it was in the wrong way.

then i was like oh shit, so i ground it off and welded it back on this way

random shot of the welder stand i made lol my first welding project

here she is!

im soon getting a set of 4.10s for my 9" for a case of beer. ill probably sell them to make a bit of money, theyre almost brand new

 

[PaleBlue90]

[Boggin]

thanks bud,
my motor mounts came in today (special thanks to SLOUE) and i got em put on and got the torque converter off and in the transmission(which happens to be the easiest way) and i started to put the motor in put its no good, I either need another person with me or a "load leveler" so ill probably try it tonight with my buddy and if that dont work ill go to the store tomorrow
