It's easier for me to keep up with what I'm doing this way. It also limits the number of images I have to post.
Just click on the 'Project Journal' link below to see what I have been up to.
I look forward to any commentary this group can provide.

Looks like you're off to a good start. Documenting everything, as you are, will pay dividends with your restoration.

Nice attention to detail that will pay off as you are reassembling

 

[PoFoMoCo]

Wow, that's a strong plan! I can't wait to see and read about your progress.

Looks like a great project. Love the colour.

November Progress Update:

Got the engine and transmission pulled.
Cleaned the transmission. Lined someone up to rebuild the transmission.
Started disassembling the engine.
Don't let anyone talk you into starting a car with 35 year old oil. Not that any of ya'll on here would.

Someone apparently really is impressed by your u-joints!

That would be my wife. She did that while I had my back turned.

I really like your journal. Nice way to document everything and easy to follow. Looks like you are making good progress. As I have said many times in the past - I'm not a big fan of yellow but on our cars with the black stripes and hood, it's really looks great. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for checking back in.

Progress looks good. You're being very methodical with your disassembly and documentation.

Nice way to document the process. I’ll be in Caddo in a few weeks. Hope it’s warm!

Thanks. I am ready for it to stay warm. When you get to Caddo, DM me, if you have time, we could grab a coffee.

 

[Steve McMahan]

Great, at that new coffee shop in Caddo, my niece works there. I’m buying.

Thanks for the updates. I agree 100%, what a great way to document the project. Well done!
