    Well we got the oil leaks fixed from the VCs and the oil changed, WOW the oil that came out was pure black like crude oil and just as thick. Today it started having two issues since doing all this work, it is smoking light blue-gray when stepping on the accelerator and now there is a slight knock in the bootom end plus wat sounds like a spun bearing! Maybe I shouldn't have changed the oil LOL. One thing I have figured out with this build is that some people should not be allowed anywhere near gasket sealers of any kind gees.

    Sounds like the guy who sold it to you used additives in the oil to hide some problems. Since I'm putting a 460 in my '79 I'm going to be selling a 400 .040 over, 22,000 miles, with new uninstalled Edelbrock cam, lifters, timing set, & intake. Also: Holley 600 carb, NP435, NP205, front & rear axles, new clutch kit, can't remember off hand what else, been collecting parts for a long time.

    Thinking of switching the carb out with the one on the 57 and see how it runs plus that would give me a manual choke which would help with the cold starts. Plus I already have it setup for this altitude. Since it's supposed to be cold tomorrow I'm thinking of trying to get the E test done since the air will be denser which will help it to burn cleaner.

    Hoping today I can get the door seals finished and a few other small things taken care of. Want to get all the small stuff out of the way before I jump into the wiring.

    Not sure no one was able to make it last saturday, I will be out there today getting the passenger window seals replaced. Yesterday I did finish the door seals and replaced the glove box plus got the front bumper laid out how I want to modify it. Doing the door seals was a messy job, glue goes everywhere no matter how careful you try to be haha. I got caught up on some pics to and will upload them next.

    The first is the low hanging exhaust the second is same after cutting and modifying it so its up tighter to the cross member since there is not room to go over it. Next is the new glas packs welded in and tucked up above thebottom of the frame rails.

    Bumper mods idea, the front tube will be cut off and pulled back 6" and then cut again to raise the lower section to 3" at the end while doing the same to the sides ending up at 2" in height.

    And yes Val is getting into helping too, She changed out the fuel and air filters and other small thing under the hood, she is so short legged we had to get the small ladder out for her to get up on the bumper LOL. Bad thing is I fell off the bumper tore up my forearm, hand and rotated my left knee again.

    Good to see Val helping out, that's awesome! The cut on that bumper would be great. When my back heals up I will be back your way and can help.
