Sir, You are making great progress and were smart to drop the oil pan and clean things up a bit. Please keep sharing your progress.
I am planning to drop a '58 235 car engine in my '52 'Burb and found a local machinist who has the head and putting hardened valve seats, new valves,and such for $300. Not sure what it will be to rebuild the short block but planning to have that done too.
I'll be checking my metalworkers progress this Saturday morning. He tells me that he is 90% done the frame off metal but I figure another 200 hours for final paint and several years.
Rebuilding is not a race; it is a slow crawl. Thanks Mitch. V/R, Nick Cavallaro, Bel Air, MD
