4 speed manual instead  ? And get rid of my pushbutton transmission?! Never! That and the pre-62 crank flange bolts up to almost nothing. |

Oarsome!!  My seamstress better half says she's most impressed with the stripe line-ups on all the seat coverings  Tell her I said thanks. It's my first cushion building, ever. |

Lemme build a new frame piece.  My buddy has a nice arbor press.   Fits well-looks wonky because the magnets only held it so well.  |

After that I pulled most of the stuff off the motor so I can paint it.  Unlike the last build, things went on a shelf with the hardware in bins and labeled.  |

Hey look, a frame mount.  And welded into place:  Got the transmission back from the rebuilders. He's going through my steering box next. Cleaned up the motor a bit   Pretty sure the oil pan holds one less quart than it should with the size of the dent in it.  |

Looking forward to an engine bay shot when this work is done. |

Got the frame mounted-some of the sheet metal needs work.   Picked up my newly rebuilt transmission.  And stripped the motor.  |

The dent in the oil pan....might have had something to do with letting the seven year old operate the engine hoist. Whatever.   Cleaned some other junk up.  |

I figured out why the replacement dipstick didn't fit.   |

I painted the motor. Red primer. Red sealer. Red paint. Came out pink.  It looks like the one year only Chrysler colour Dubonnet. Totally not what I was going for.  |

Some idiot found one of the factory options on ebay. The RCA record player-holds fourteen 45 records and plays through the radio. I bought it.  |
