Re: "52 3600/3100"

Weekend update. 6/18/23
Started prepping the interior for paint. Let my 7yr old son pick the color, he did well.(Sandstorm Tan)
Battled a stuck manifold bolt for a whole day and then 15 minutes of the next lol It was broken about 1/8 inside the threads so I had to build it up with weld btu every time I'd weld a nut on the nut would twist off!!! I ended up building it up and twisting it out with vise-grips after letting kroil do its job over night.
Headers on and torqued.
OIL pan filled after 3 trips to the parts store to find the right filter for my ebay ls swap pan.
mocked up the radiator and got some hose on but I am thinking I may have to try some flex hose as these bends are kind of funky.

Process is slow but atleast the train is moving.
