Frank they had to redo #1 & 2 babbit bearings. Suspected cause lack of lubricant.

Well, I'm glad when mine was done they used plenty of assembly lube or primed pump or whatever before giving it to me.  I don't remember doing anything out of ordinary before starting.  In fact, I believe the last shop ran it first for a bit before delivery.

Chet, I'm sure it will go well this time.   frank

I'll let you know.  Picking up the motor this Saturday.  Fingers cross.  They checked out all the oil ports and they are all free from debris.  Clear through the mains and crank.  I really need this to work out OK.  I need a shot of enthusiasm to get going again !!

Prep for Paint - Continued.

It's hard to believe that on October 29 I will start the fourth year of this project.  There is still a lot to be done but getting the car to the paint shop before the extreme cold weather sets in will be a big step toward completion.  It seems that the project is dragging but each completed task gets me closer to driving this car again.  Like reaching the halfway point in a marathon.

Looking good...like the ignition switch label!

Nice work as usual Chet.  Great documentation of all your progress on your web page too!

chetbrz

Thanks guys for the At-a-boys.

I think the documentation will help someone thinking about doing something like this.  Definitely a project that involves years of work. Just finishing up on year 3.  Spent 8 years of weekends on my 48 Plymouth definitely a learning experience.

With the car safely back from the paint shop I am able to make some serious progress on the reassembly.
