I think he took up residence in one of the other T motors in the garage It was -1 this AM ,Heat wave comming 30 degees Beth

 

you forgot , as Tim calls him, my 1 horsepower hay burner Beth

 

Thank you very much those are my babies, BTW Tim used to work on fuel cars back in the 80's and 90's Beth

 

At 15 degees we put on more cloths and go back out to play in the shop, Funny you mention Tim with a bow, He builds handmade Osage long bows,,, Beth

 

Thanks for following my build it's lots of fun , BTW I too miss my mind Beth

 

That does it I gave you that motor so my mouse could live in the country. Now you ruined his home! Dam you guys are moving right along, I'm moved finally but still have to unpack. I'll have to see that block in person I might want it back so I can put it in my barn, so the mice will have their home back. Last thing in the garage moved today only took ten trailer and a moving company for the house! And I still have 3 trailers at your place, man I have a lot of stuff
,

 

Looks like a fun project .

 

No worries for your mouse Bob last time I saw him he was singing that song from the Jefferson's TV show, before running over to this motor,( I'm movin on up , to the big time ),,,, Tim Jones BTW cool shot of your car

 

I think you should put that hemi in the speedster and give the poor mouse his home back.

 

I am still working on Tim to let me have one of the flatheads I think our mouse friend took over one of the other T motors. they seam to like a simple life...Beth

 

Today Tim and our buddy Huck Got the rest of the rusted away valve stems that were stuck in the motor out, I was too busy working to help, , Tim said the the stems that were stuck in the valve guides came out pretty easy considering the exposed part of the valves were rotted off, But after that we got it in the hot tank and cleaned up the parts Already to go get the valve seats redone at the machine shop,,,, Beth

 

After cleaning out the mouse nest in the oil pan I relized that the bottom of the pan was rusted through,( damm Mouse) , But my friend Bob Gave me another to use ( I think he figured that Robert Jr the possum from the barn would give it to me anyway) , I cleaned up the pan and coated it with rust converter and primed it,, Beth

 

They say if it doesn't make you dirty it's not yours. Looking at the pics you definitely own that one Beth. One more step in the to getting the T done!

 

I might have to practice welding BUT I don't need practice at getting grubby, I've been gettig grubby since I was a kid Now I get to paint my motor parts I cleaned yesterday,, Beth

 

Beth got a little press on automotive writer, Scotty Gosson's Blog today, http://scottygossonexposed.blogspot.com/ Pretty cool stories besides hers,, Tim Jones

 

Great coverage there will be no stopping you now,except for that damn mouse

 

And the lack of funds Thank you I was pretty excited to see it,, Since we had the motor all cleaned up and some time I thought we'd paint it up and mock it up in the chassis,, Beth

 

More pics< I painted the motor a Ford blue color that I like , Tim Does all my heavy work, ( still thinks he's a kid ) Beth
