a week ago i left my parents house to go work on my '57 but on my way there i heard a metal scraping sound from the motor, i parked my truck and went to restart it and the starter would spin freely not touching the flywheel... so it sat there for a week because i got the '57 together for carcraft. it was the first time since last october that i drove my car.
got back to the truck today, i checked the starter because i thought it was a stuck and just needed a good whack. i touched it and the starter swung to the side a bit. one bolt was loose and i thought the other was just gone. I found the bolt still in it was too long and was tight but the starter wasnt. i dropped the starter down and saw a broken off bolt... ill be trying to get out the broken bolt tomorrow now that the truck is back at my parents house instead of in the street in front of my girlfriends moms.
