Re: 1955 2nd Series Build Start

looks amazing! I wish I could start with a running driving gorgeous truck, you are going to be super happy

two things:



pull the distributor before jockeying the motor around on the hoist. that chain will pull tight and break it. I have done it twice, first by accident and the second because I didnt learn. mark the rotor position and dont turn the crank at all. put some tape over the hole till you put it back in.


and this shroud:



will block most of the airflow through your radiator. that fan already has a shroud/duct, that extra piece is not needed except as a mount for the fan, so carve it open or mount the fan directly to the rad without it.
