Otis Nice Posted August 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Got the bed and cab removed tonight. Found some nice custom ancient wood body lift blocks. As he did 4 years ago on the Fam '52 my now 7 year old pitched in and ran the impact for us. Time to pull the eng and trans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted August 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Time to start cleaning up the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 At school one time way back a class did an experiment where they de-rusted a car frame using electrolysis. They made a pool using wood framing and visqueen. It was big, but shallow since the frame isn't very tall. It was a neat experiment. Here's a video explaining the process. Another guy uses the same process to clean up rusty motorcycle gas tanks. You're moving the iron oxide from one piece of steel to another using electricity and chemistry.

Otis Nice Posted April 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) Been working on the eng rebuild on and off as we could over the winter. Ran into a few minor snags but they're all ironed out. Onto some body work. We're going to tr to keep the exterior patina/thrashed look but the interior will be revamped and not orig unlike the Fam '52. Gotta get rid of some rust and get a solid foundation.

Otis Nice Posted June 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) A bit more progress has been made. The passenger side floor and jamb is done. The front end was removed and dad drove out to Indiana today to pick up the one we had custom built and all the parts.

max power Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 This is cool but can we also have some updates on that beautiful vette with the stroker? A malaise era stingray with a stroker is a dream car of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Otis Nice Posted January 9 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 9 Been awhile but we made it through Thanksgiving, family vacay, Christmas and New Years, and a week of my brother being in the hosp, but my FiL helped dad weld the engine mounts and this evening dad and I test fitted the engine and trans. Now dad can drill the holes for the trans mount tomorrow and we can start making more progress hopefully. Still gonna be awhile before it's done but it's getting there. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
