Getting close to getting the motor back up and running again. I need to wire a couple of things, make new fuel lines and to work on the clutch. I know it's not a 100% correct but then again look at the truck :lol: I had a hole in the core support that I needed to fill but didn't have the time so I had an extra choke delete so it filled the hole with a little bit of style...

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

love the attention to detail...using the tower clamps and turning them all the same way, slick , but hey we would expect anything else from you !!

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

Looks great.

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

I power washed it after spraying it down with Simple Green, then sanded it down with 180/320 and then wiped the whole thing down with lacquer thinner. All the parts I could get off I bead blasted.

I used Duplicolor engine enamel. Valve cover, water pump and fuel pump where all re-gasket before putting it back together so now it should really leak!

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

Started making the cover for the bed floor. I'm going to use blind rivets to hold it down (they should be here before the weekend). Now we don't have to worry about our stuff falling out as we drive. :lol:
