    It has been three months since my last update, and a lot has happened.

    Tried to get the chassis back on the frame, just to check som clearance issues.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    After several tries, I desided to try and make an extention for my enginehoist.

    [​IMG]

    Ehm, What the hell am I trying to do?

    [​IMG]

    This will not hold.

    [​IMG]

    And I was right, it bended right away.

    [​IMG]

    SÅ scrapped that idear, and got some pieces from the leftovers of the barn. recykling is a good thing.

    [​IMG]

    A friends van became a good anchorpoint.

    [​IMG]

    And with the engine hoist in the other end, I was able to raise the body, enough to roll the frame under.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Perfectly parked. hehehe

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    And so starts the fun, I need to make sure that the frame and body dont crashes in to many places.

    [​IMG]

    I know that I need to make some clearance under the rear seat.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Yup, Knew it, but it was less than expected.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Hmm, Cleaning time

    [​IMG]

    A bit of cutting here.

    [​IMG]

    And after 5 minutes with the grinder, the clearance was in order.

    [​IMG]

    After some checking under the car, I found a few more spots that needs clearance.

    Here under the floor.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    And since I was on a roll, I decided to see if the steering would fit.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Need to make new parts here.

    [​IMG]

    Find an extension for the steering shaft.

    [​IMG]

    But all in all, this was better than I hoped for.

    Hmm, should these not be on the frame.

    [​IMG]

    And airborne here as well.

    [​IMG]

    I see that I need to get the body in the rotisserie.

    [​IMG]

    But after removing the anchorplate for the steeringrack, I just threw it in place

    [​IMG]

    Got a lot of space, and room to testfit the next part.

    Bloody h..l this is almost impossible to handle.

    [​IMG]

    But using hand, foot, string and willpower, I could see that it was not completely off.

    [​IMG]

    Pic taken through the dash.

    [​IMG]

    And the extension was suddenly shorter.

    [​IMG]

    Got a lot done that day.

    The day after was a monday, and since I work both night and day shifts, I could get something done before work.

    [​IMG]

    So rolled the frame out, and decided to fir the mock-up engine and tranny, to see how the clearance would be to the firewall.

    [​IMG]

    Mounted the oilpan to check the clearance to the powersteering lines.

    [​IMG]

    After a bit of persuasion, the clearance was ok, but maybe i'll make new lines.

    [​IMG]

    Threw a set of heads on, so I could check the clearance on the blockhuggers.

    [​IMG]

    But noooo, it would not fit.

    [​IMG]

    Even after the hammer persuasion it was barely fitting.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    No room for the steering shaft.

    [​IMG]

    Lots of room on the other side, so that should not be a problem.

    [​IMG]

    Wait a minute!!! Aren't they side specific??

    [​IMG]

    ANd here came a few "facepalms" and "DOH's" straight after each other. Yup, they are side specific.

    [​IMG]

    And suddenly everything fitted much better.

    [​IMG]

    Rather pleased with this.

    [​IMG]

    And frame back under again.

    [​IMG]

    Adjusting with a crowbar.

    [​IMG]

    But nice clearance to the firewall.

    [​IMG]

    And should I ever decide to lower the body over the frame, there will be lots of room for that.

    [​IMG]

    And then I packed everything in the tarp, and vent for a shower before work.

    SO later that week, I decided to do something about the steering wheel and the brake assembly. But to get them in the right place, the seats must be installed. So I ventured into the backroom to get them out.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Need to fabricate some seat mounts here.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    The rear seat mount on the passenger seat needed to be removed, since it crashed with everything, including the floor!

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    ANd suddenly the seats were in place..

    [​IMG]

    But need a crossmember under the dash, so in order to see what I have to work with I just used strips to hold the pipe.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Steering wheel needs to be supported, so the old bracket came into use again.

    [​IMG]

    And then I fabricated a top plate to follow the contour of the steering.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Even the wife needed a checkup of what I was doing.

    Needed some time of, (this was in march) after my father died, and since my hobby is my therapy, I went out again to check the clearance for the water pump to the radiator.

    [​IMG]

    After getting the nose cone in place I realized, that there would not be a lot of room for a long waterpump.

    And since I was all ready in the "Let's check" mode, I took the fender out and checked the fit of that.
    I know that the car had a few fender benders in the past, and you can clearly see that on the fender. It's not completely round. hehehe

    [​IMG]

    But I'm not building a showcar.

    [​IMG]

    It was cool to see what the car would look like in the future, it has somehow disappeared in the rust.

    [​IMG]

    And realized that my nose cone stabilizers was missing (can't remember if I ever had them!)
    So a couple of old jack rods for a suburban jack got modified on the anvil

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Got test fitted in place, and needed threading in one end.

    [​IMG]

    The bracket got a few tack's so that I can start fitting the steering.

    [​IMG]

    Not everything in its right place, but I need to get some work done here, if I want the car on the road this year.

    [​IMG]

    Ooff, That was way of!!

    [​IMG]

    This is better.

    [​IMG]

    using the big leveler.

    [​IMG]

    And jacking the up the car so its level.

    [​IMG]

    Getting there.

    [​IMG]

    Way better.

    Made a few fixtures for the seats.

    [​IMG]

    Went to my local universal car part store, to get fittings for my new brakehose, and gave the hose to the clerk. he said he would find the pieces for me, and I vent shopping for other stuff. got back five minutes later and everything was ready at the counter. I like that.

    [​IMG]

    The only problem I have with this hose, is the mounting hole, the hole is 12 mm and I find that a bit overkill. so I just threaded a piece of fuelhose in the hole, and used a 6mm bolt in stead.

    [​IMG]

    It will give minimal movement, but also fixate the hose to the axle.

    Tried to thread the ends on the rods for the nose cone, but that didn't go so well.

    [​IMG]

    My camera does not like to make close-ups.

    Sunday and time for the next update.

    [​IMG]

    Supports in place

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Took the hood of, it need a little straightening.

    [​IMG]

    A few nut's later it found it's place

    [​IMG]

    So let's do some custom work.

    These are defrosters from a 55 Bel Air, A friend gave these to me.

    [​IMG]

    After a little modification, I will be able to get some hot air out of these.

    [​IMG]

    Had an idea about how to mount them.

    [​IMG]

    So I made a couple of plates, like these, and they will need some fiddling in the future.

    [​IMG]

    The day after.

    [​IMG]

    The plan was to mount the brake bracket and brake lines.

    [​IMG]

    A set of old rims and some scrap metal, and I had a couple of extra jackstands.

    [​IMG]

    And after some hard work the frame was out again

    [​IMG]

    In the beginning, I thought I was smart and just threaded the hole.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    But it turned out, that the bracket needed to be indexed in comparison to the brake hose, So I cut the bracket in two, and just welded it in place.

    [​IMG]

    But It is now in place, and I found out, that I need new wheel cylinders. the ones I have don't fit.

    [​IMG]

    But nothing I can do about it now, so I rolled the frame back under the body.

    This i very early, on a Saturday morning.
    I drove off to a buddy 50 kilometers away and helped him empty his garage, and a lot of what he was throwing out, ended up in my trailer.

    [​IMG]

    Yup, 2 V8, both 305.

    [​IMG]

    It had been left in that garage for teh better part of 7 years without anyone else touching it, than the rats.

    [​IMG]

    Crazy clean.

    [​IMG]

    Red gasket silicone everywhere.

    [​IMG]

    Wery happy

    [​IMG]

    Off with the heads, and surprise!! New gaskets.

    [​IMG]

    Magnet and homemade lifter tool

    [​IMG]

    And more surprises. the lifters are new, with assembly lube!!

    [​IMG]

    Just a bit of surface rust.

    [​IMG]

    Grease on the timing chain??

    The day after I started with packing everything in boxes and making sure it would not get scratches

    [​IMG]

    Cleaning the table

    [​IMG]

    And make ready for the dirty job.

    Cam was brand new.

    [​IMG]

    Anyone remember these.

    [​IMG]

    Cut in two, and made a 10 mm deep cut in the end.

    [​IMG]

    Mounted it in the drill.

    1200 grit wet sanding paper.

    [​IMG]

    Sure, I know that the paper was folded on the other pic, but I wanted to show you how I do this.

    [​IMG]

    This fits nicely in the cut I made.

    [​IMG]

    A light push on the trigger on the drill and everthing was rolled nicely together.

    [​IMG]

    A little lube.

    [​IMG]

    Spray in the lifter gallery.

    [​IMG]

    With the drill. on low speed and a light pressure, I cleaned the dirt out of the lifter bore, without taking out any material.

    [​IMG]

    You can clearly see the difference.

    [​IMG]

    All done and soaked in WD40

    Now the crank.

    [​IMG]

    This brush is one of the most important in my arsenal of engine cleaning tools

    [​IMG]

    You see why.

    [​IMG]

    All surfaces are clean.

    [​IMG]

    All pistons are getting soaked in the tank, and I'll clean them next.

    Strange, different lifters?

    [​IMG]

    Same height.

    [​IMG]

    Different internal height on them as well.

    [​IMG]

    Brand new

    [​IMG]


    But same dome depth, so I'll use them.

    Cleaned the surface on the heads with my old level-block

    [​IMG]

    Mild porting, These heads are original 305HO heads, so they are not really happy about heavy porting.

    [​IMG]

    I cleaned the exhaust side and intake side for casting imperfections, and that's about it

    [​IMG]

    Lapped all the valves, and have a good mating surface on them all.

    [​IMG]

    Need a new working table, my back is killing me.

    [​IMG]

    Knocked all the freeze plugs out, and tried to clean out some of all the dust and debris inside the block.
    But something did not want to come out. and i did not want the carcass of a rat, or the carcass of the victim for a murder rat inside the block.

    Turned out to be a big lump of black silicone.

    [​IMG]

    Get one of these in the thermostat, and it will not only be the engine boiling! hehehe

    [​IMG]

    All of these pictures was taken during easter.

    After some detective work I arrived at

    "V0213DDM"

    305HO build from 1983 and forward. This one is from 86.
    145hk (That's not a lot!!)
    And it comes from an F/B body

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    It's a small engine, but in the beginning it will do.

    Cleaned the engine with de greaser, and gave it a light coat of paint.

    [​IMG]

    A couple of coats more

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    I have a weakness for bronze plugs

    [​IMG]

    They look so good in the red color

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Crank in place.

    Pistons in.

    [​IMG]

    Well, These does not look nice.

    [​IMG]

    Everything in, and it rotates perfectly

    [​IMG]

    New roller timing chain. (Only had it for 6 years!!)

    [​IMG]

    The timing cover turned out nice after blasting and paint

    [​IMG]

    Rear seal in place

    [​IMG]

    Studs are cool, but not always easy to get in place.

    [​IMG]

    And then I saw how nice they look after a few minutes with the steelbrush

    [​IMG]

    And that did it, I blasted it all.

    [​IMG]

    "Top"

    [​IMG]

    "This side down"

    [​IMG]

    Impossible to see under three layers of paint.

    I wanted the booster and brake assembly under the dash, but there was quite simply no room.

    Forgot the camera, so I have no pics, of the beginning

    The brake assembly comes from a 67 chevelle, It's from all of the stuff I helped my byddy clean out of his garage.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    So a lot of cutting and grinding.

    [​IMG]

    And more cutting and grinding. much of this is done straight of the top of my head.

    [​IMG]

    This is 2mm plate cut to fit

    [​IMG]

    Bracket in same thickness

    [​IMG]

    Looks like this in the beginning.

    [​IMG]

    Firewall reinforcement.

    [​IMG]

    Marked.

    [​IMG]

    Holes

    Is 9 bolts enough ore should I use a few more!

    [​IMG]

    Yeah yeah, I'm lazy, so I welded the bolts to the plate.

    [​IMG]

    And tacked the plate on

    [​IMG]

    And it came out like this

    [​IMG]

    And the angle was suddenly much better.

    [​IMG]

    Ehmm, will this clear the sides of the hood??

    [​IMG]

    But this is good, and nice pedal movement

    [​IMG]

    Need an anchor point here.

    [​IMG]

    ANd my worries became overwhelming, so I fetched the hood to check the clearance.

    And it cleared.

    [​IMG]

    And that was actually quite the clearance

    [​IMG]

    "Brake line time"

    [​IMG]

    The distribution block got cleaned, blasted and painted.

    [​IMG]

    With the brake lines in place, I again checked the clearance, and that was ok.

    [​IMG]


    [​IMG]

    I looped the lines due to the vibrations between the body and the frame

    [​IMG]

    No room for bolting the distribution block straight to the frame, so i made a bracket for that.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]
     
  18. Very nice progress. I really enjoy your posts. Maybe the first test drive will be before the snow gets too deep!

    Thank you, It's nice to see that people enjoy my work.

    The weekend after, I got up early, and vent into the garage, and painted the heads. This pic is from the first coat.

    [​IMG]

    Primer on the sandblasted parts.

    [​IMG]

    Even the bolts got some.

    [​IMG]

    At that time of year, it is a bit chilly in the garage, so the paint took longer to dry than I expected.

    [​IMG]

    And a couple of coats with black rim paint.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    heads on the engine, for testing.

    [​IMG]

    I like the matte finish on the valve covers.

    [​IMG]

    And the black bolts on the timing cover.

    Freshly painted headbolts in use.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Lifters going in.

    [​IMG]

    Oilpan in place

    [​IMG]

    Rails in place

    [​IMG]

    Harmonic balancer in place

    [​IMG]

    And oilfilter

    [​IMG]

    And since I have a slight problem seeing a black line on a black surface, it got some yellow paint.

    [​IMG]

    And had to take off the oilpan again, because I forgot the oilpump drive shaft :eek: :eek: :eek:

    [​IMG]

    Lifters and pushrods in place

    [​IMG]

    And thanks to a buddy on another forum, I ended up with another small project.

    This is the beginning of a couple of cupholders.

    [​IMG]

    My 5ton press is a bit to small for this job.

    [​IMG]

    So I used my propane burner.

    [​IMG]

    Two of each, let's see what I can do with them..

    The weekend after I got up early again, and decided to test the brake pedal assembly

    [​IMG]

    And took a small turn with the grinder on the cupholders

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Got tired of getting metal shavings in the face, so I took the support out, and welded it completely.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    I might redo this, since I'm not really satisfied with it

    [​IMG]

    But it works.

    [​IMG]

    I have some cosmetic work in the future, but for now, I'm concentrating on the functional.

    [​IMG]

    Ready for testing, soon.

    [​IMG]

    And since I was in an unpleasant position all ready. I mounted the gas pedal.

    [​IMG]

    There will be some adjustment, since the brake pedal is on the "wrong" side of the steeringshaft.

    The stress test went like this.
    -HUMMMMMMPFFF (The sound of me grabbing hold on the dash, and pushing the pedal to the floor.)
    -KREIIEKKKK. (The sound of the welded seat bracket that gives in!)
    The pedal didn't budge, the seat did!!

    Summa sumarum. The brake assembly is aprooved, the seat bracket is not. hehehe

    Sunday again and time for another update. Not that I have done anything lately, but I still have a lot of pictures of the previous month! hehehe
    One of the downsides to living in Norway, and not having a decent garage, is that the weather dictates when you are working on your car.

    But had a short period of fine weather, so got some done.

    Steeringwhell back in the car,

    [​IMG]

    Benjamin came home from school an tested the seating and steering

    [​IMG]

    Yupp, He's just like his dad. hehehe

    [​IMG]

    Unwanted holes in the body.

    [​IMG]

    Used a tapered step drill to make the holes round.

    [​IMG]

    And made a fitting patch.

    [​IMG]

    A few cracks here and there, but I'll fix that as well.

    [​IMG]

    And it is smart to turn on the gas, when welding.

    [​IMG]

    This nearly became a photo of the sky, as I was falling on my a$$, trying to take a step back.

    [​IMG]

    The black spot is a hole, the steel is thinner than I hoped for.

    [​IMG]

    Let's do the other side.

    [​IMG]

    Done and as you can se the paint bubbles when the steel gets hot.

    [​IMG]

    And that was also my first fire in the car.

    When they built this car, they either glued the isolation with tar or some other highly flammable liquid. b'cause that sh.t burns fast.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    A bit of water on the floor

    [​IMG]

    My fire extinguisher

    [​IMG]

    A small fire does not stop my brain, and I remembered that I have no supports for the nose of the car.

    [​IMG]

    I don't know how many times that hood has been on and off the car, I lost count.

    [​IMG]

    One of the things missing on the car, was the T-bolt holding the hood on the car.

    [​IMG]

    So this is the first test of a homemade T-bolt.

    I still remember my first run of a new-built engine on an engine test stand (smooth as silk!!) and I remember those done with the engine in the car, with leaky radiators an headers, and often you had to pull the engine again, to fix something.
    So when I realized that I had a new cam in the 305 that needed breaking in, and check for leaks, and all the other stuff you need to do on a freshly built engine, and I really don't want to pull it once it is in. So I decided to built an engine test stand.

    [​IMG]

    A piece of steel leftover from building the bottom part of the frame, became the legs

    [​IMG]

    And after adjusting my eyesight, they got cut

    [​IMG]

    And tack'ed on

    [​IMG]

    30 minutes of welding later they were on for good

    [​IMG]

    Adjustable feet will come later or wheels.

    Wanted sliding rails on this one, but!!!

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    The steel was to flimsy, so I ignored the problem and went straight to the front up-rights.

    [​IMG]

    And they are adjustable in height, so I can test other engines.

    [​IMG]

    A little drawing was done.

    [​IMG]

    Freehand is newer perfect, but that was not the point either

    [​IMG]

    And with a little hammer-massage, it looked like this.

    Thees are the engine mounts, in case you were wondering.

    [​IMG]

    Needs a bit of cleaning

    [​IMG]

    After sandblasting they got painted

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    And I got started on the rear engine mounts for SBC, (will make for other engines as well)

    After a trip to my local dumpster, I found a scrap piece of steel that could be made into the rear up-rights.

    [​IMG]

    Nice with an extra pair of hands, (My stepdaughter helps a lot, but she knows that this will benefit her to.)

    [​IMG]

    Prepping the surface before painting

    [​IMG]

    Brush-painting a "tough as f..." zink primer on

    [​IMG]

    Yup, She's my daughter! hahaha

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    But it had to dry for a while.

    [​IMG]

    After the bottom was dry, it got flipped and the top got painted

    [​IMG]

    So what kind of heating will I put in the car? Bought/Built? Hahahaha You already know the answer to that

    [​IMG]

    An ordinary 12V fan.

    [​IMG]

    And the register from a 1979 Malibu.

    [​IMG]

    Need to do something smart with this and the fresh air intake on top of the cowl

    [​IMG]

    Got some color on the stand.

    Painted the legs on the teststand.

    [​IMG]

    And the adjustable.

    [​IMG]

    And started on the controlbox.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Biltema instruments. Volt, Oil pressure, Temp og naturally a tach for breaking in the cam.

    [​IMG]

    Leg fits nicely

    [​IMG]

    And my corner magnet works nicely, when making the box.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Sides and bottom first.

    [​IMG]

    And the lid

    [​IMG]

    And marked the spots for the instruments.

    [​IMG]

    Took some time making the holes, since my hole saw went "missing" when I lent it out to a "friend"

    [​IMG]

    But after a few hours with the anglegrinder and rotary file, I had my holes.

    [​IMG]

    Welded a few M6 bolts in.

    [​IMG]

    And made a few holes in the lid.

    [​IMG]

    "Press fit" instruments!! So a bit of vakuumhose fixed that.

    [​IMG]

    ANd a few holes for switches and buttons.

    [​IMG]

    Painted the lid.

    [​IMG]

    Painted the box outside.

    [​IMG]

    Right, I painted the wrong side of the lid.

    [​IMG]

    After a few coats, I was satisfied.

    [​IMG]

    Sunday again, and time for another update.

    [​IMG]

    Mounting the instruments.

    [​IMG]

    And switches

    [​IMG]

    Looks like this on the back.

    [​IMG]

    Let's get some wiring done.

    [​IMG]

    Alright, this already looks confusing! hehehe

    [​IMG]

    Drilled a few holes in the bottom of the box.

    [​IMG]

    And decided to make a battery tray.

    [​IMG]

    Bolted the box back on, and started laying out the wires.

    [​IMG]

    The battery tray, was made for housing my biggest battery, but for now, a smaller one is used.

    The tray itself, is made out of angle iron

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Wrong angle on the camera.

    [​IMG]

    Made it stronger.

    [​IMG]

    Now you can see it fits.

    [​IMG]

    Mounting the tray on this leg.

    [​IMG]

    Just a bracket with a couple of M8 bolts welded to the back.

    Recycling is good. using the same negative battery cable, I pulled off the master years ago.

    [​IMG]

    Battery, cable, and box in place

    [​IMG]

    Test is required. hehehe

    [​IMG]

    YES.
