Looks Nice !

It sort of reminds me of home long ago , if you replace that nice house with a 200 year old collapsing farmhouse and badly rusted out vehicles in the row.... :p

I envy your living place .
 
well got some parts today and they cost me nothing out of pocket

Routine Service

Look up my older posts on re - awakening dormant engines , follow all the steps , it'll be fine .

Also look up my " Citric Acid Cooling Sytem Cleaning , it really works .
 
Tech Advice

It's almost all in the '47 ~'54 Foums .

I now have extremely limited Internet access so you'll have to hunt , I'm hoping the good folks here will help you out with links to useful articles .

I like they way you highlited the " CHEVROLET " on the Rockbox , I want to do his but cannot seem to manage it to look nice when I do .
 
It runs !

That's great .

I hope you put the cooling system back to - gether first as running it dry will kills the piston rings in very short order .
 
no cooling system the whole reason it was moved was so i can get it to the hose and blast the system out it litterally ran as long as the videos show and putting it back getting hosed out in between cooling system is next as i have a radiator for it and all the nasty crap is out of the system
