    Looks good,Charlie! I'll bet you have a few hours in that swap.

    I got the other rocker in tonight. They really did a crappy job when they stamped this one out. I couldnt get the front and rear body line to line up so I got the front lined up and the rear as close as it would go. I'll fix it later whenever I get around to painting the whole car. At least it's at the bottom where it's not noticeable when the car is on the ground. Now to grind the welds, some skim filler, and some primer.

    She's back on all four feet and I pulled the 318 out of the parts pile. New cam & lifters, timing set, oil pump, and gaskets came in the mail today for it.

    I haven't been around too much, but it sounds like you got the '49 on the road briefly then cut it up to build this one?? I think you like building more than cruisin'! . It sounds like you're still pretty well sidetracked from the '48 huh?

    Yeah, it's hard to argue that I enjoy building quite a bit. The 49s clutch started slipping but then I found this one.........you know how the sickness progresses. As far as the 48; I'm still at the mercy of the painter. He's a good friend and has a lot going on so I'm patiently waiting on him. We did get the main body painted but then he had a long string of overtime shifts. He finally started back last week on the wet sanding and buffing. Once that's done and then the doors and decklid are done I've got a pile of parts waiting here to go on it. I figure on doing some more assembling while he's working on the front clip.

    Well it sounds like you'll just about have two done at the same time and then you'll have the tough decision of which keys to grab!

    Hah! Already decided, 35. Mama done laid claim to the 48!
    Not sure why these pictures are turning out so grainy, I guess my camera has about had it. Anyway, I finshed a few welding spots and wire brushed all the old paint off the floor to start fresh. Next step on this is a coat of etching primer and some seam sealer followed by a topcoat but im going to take a break from the floors for a bit and start pulling the front clip apart and putting the drivetrain together. My back needs a break from all that bending over.

    Well you know you'll still have to take and out and make sure everything is mechanically sound now and then

    Oh, yeah. We might just have to take them both out and line 'em, too! Although I think the 5.3 will probably spank the 318.

    Lots done today; I got the front clip apart, motor pulled, powerwashed the front of the frame, pulled all the suspention, and cut out the old crossmember. Tomorrow we start cleaning it up to get ready for a trial fit on the motor once it's together.

    I got the frame cleaned up today; this has to be the dirtiest job there is when doing a build. It took about 4 hours with a heavy wire wheel on an angle grinder. I had cleaned and painted all the suspension parts on the 49 and it's the same parts so It'll all go on here. From this point it's almost all reassembly; that's a nice point to get to.

    Doesn't look like much yet. I was going to do a basic re-ring but the bearings look like they were just put in and the cylinders still have visible hone marks so I'm going with it as it is. I did get a new oil pump, timing set, and stuck in one of Summit's mild street/strip cams. The only thing i could find wrong was two freeze plugs with pinholes rusted in them and some gunk in the
    cooling passages. I popped all the plugs out and flushed out the block so it should be good to go.

    That's some really good progress, Falcon!!!!! Someday I'm going to start building a frame for my '57 so that I'll have something to clean, too!!!!!!
