I got headlights, taillights and brake lights finished up today. My brother has been busy doing getting his high school 57 back on the road with a fresh 327 backed by a Tremec 5 speed. The car was raced in the 60s then he put it back on the street in the late 70's. It is still wearing the same paint and interior from when he built it 45+ years ago. We both need to get the hoods back on, but it was good to have the cars out tonight and the list of loose ends getting shorter.
Working around the car, checking things off. Rear shocks installed Brake drum retainers installed Clutch and Brake pedal return springs Sealed up a leaky dipstick boss Replaced the leaking plastic oil pressure line with copper Installed the gas tank sender cover plate Installing the rubber cord into the tack strip is a tedious job...
Was hoping or would like more information on the "bolt in insert" ? Trying to mentally figure it out ?

I am gonna have to call it done for now, as it's about to to pack up, load up to hit the road to Oklahoma.
Stunning hot rod. It will be a shining star at the ROC. Looking forward to seeing it. Just did a quick look at the 10 day forecast for Bartlesville and it looks like the weather is your friend.
Absolutely incredible. This car is an inspiration for hot rodders far and wide. Thank you for sharing the journey with us. You bring craftsmanship to a whole new level. Have fun in Oklahoma!
Well this happened last Saturday afternoon on the way back from Woolaroc. It looks like it started with a dropped valve keeper and escalated quickly from there. It broke a lifter which then took out the cam and block
