Update on the Project.

Things have been steaming along lately, I have got the front end back in and the ute is rolling again, I have started to look at the upholstery options and I have fitted headlights and blinkers. I have also painted the steering column and the starter motor. But the most recent achievement was the firing up of the big 138 before sending it off to the sand blasters for a cleanup. Now I am ready to paint the engine and drop it in. I am hoping everything still goes to plan. I doubt it will be ready in time for the nationals but I hope it will, I will surly make the trip to Sawtell to have a look anyway.

No, we made sure that it was all quite blocked up. That engine was next to perfect, well at least it was before we took it to the blasters.
