Re: Project Coca-Rustola: '67 C20 Longstepper

Here's the latest:

After I shut it down after it ran for the first time in years, I noticed water coming out of one of the expansion plugs. I had already replaced one, but realized with 2 being rotted, they're probably all rotted. In fact, after poking around a little bit, I was able to shove a screwdriver through one on the front of the block. So I've pulled off the exhaust manifolds to get better access to the block. While I was doing that, I busted off a couple of studs, and had to grind off the head of one of the bolts on the manifold. I'm going to replace all the bolts and studs since they have pretty much rusted away and I don't trust them. So waiting for the bolt set to come in so I can put everything back together.

And I still need to decide on the clutch.
