4 speed manual instead [evil]?

And get rid of my pushbutton transmission?! Never!


That and the pre-62 crank flange bolts up to almost nothing.

Oarsome!! [clap] [clap]

My seamstress better half says she's most impressed with the stripe line-ups on all the seat coverings  [thumbsup]

Tell her I said thanks. It's my first cushion building, ever.

Lemme build a new frame piece.



My buddy has a nice arbor press.





Fits well-looks wonky because the magnets only held it so well.

After that I pulled most of the stuff off the motor so I can paint it.



Unlike the last build, things went on a shelf with the hardware in bins and labeled.

Hey look, a frame mount.



And welded into place:



Got the transmission back from the rebuilders. He's going through my steering box next.

Cleaned up the motor a bit






Pretty sure the oil pan holds one less quart than it should with the size of the dent in it.  :P

Got the frame mounted-some of the sheet metal needs work.





Picked up my newly rebuilt transmission.



And stripped the motor.

The dent in the oil pan....might have had something to do with letting the seven year old operate the engine hoist. Whatever.





Cleaned some other junk up.

I figured out why the replacement dipstick didn't fit.

I painted the motor.

Red primer.

Red sealer.

Red paint.


Came out pink.  :P



It looks like the one year only Chrysler colour Dubonnet. Totally not what I was going for.

Some idiot found one of the factory options on ebay.

The RCA record player-holds fourteen 45 records and plays through the radio.

I bought it.  8)

Now you need the rear speaker and some 45's.
"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in
a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."
