thanksgiving turned pretty good afterall.

i ended up putting a new florescent light in the garage, and now i can see what im workin on!!

i also put a new valvecover gasket on the pup and tore the carb down and cleaned it. i also painted the front bumper black again, painted the valve cover, the top of the radiator and painted the ugly bondo so it doesnt stick out like a sore thumb.

heres some pics...

the new light!



the nasty engine in the pup...




the valve cover and radiator



the cleaned up carb

Light? Garage? I've done all the work on my trucks in the gravel outside with a flashlight stuck in my mouth. Wussy.


Pup looks a lot better with some paint covering up its wounds. Nothing hides ugly bodywork better than flat black.

Was it a Porn star sized flashlight?...

Anyway, i know what it's like to work on my stuff out in the open. Sometimes it's all you can do to find a place where you can park the truck and work on it without somebody freaking out.
When i put my 400 together, the ground around the storage shed was packed down with the grass killed off. It wasn't the best place to do the work but it all i had. At night, you could see all the crap floating around in the air using a drop light. Panic sets in and all you can think of is the dirt making it's way into the motor.
