Pushrods installed. That's a good looking engine! now to order the valley pan and get to putting the top half together. I need to find some valve covers as the ones I have are all chrome and I dont want that for this engine. They will be painted Burnt Bronze Cerakote to match the timing cover...

My Smith Brothers push rods showed up today. They look really good.

Back to body metal work. Starting to repair the fenders with what I thought was just a few dents and typical rust. Then I found this LOL. The front right fender got smacked in a weird way. I'm not sure how to fix it so I split it up the middle and I'm trying to work each panel separately. I...

I'm glad to see you're back on this build. it's amazing how invested you get in someone else's build, until they stop building.

Thanks for catching that. It's a flat tappet solid cam not a roller lol.

I've lived here most of my life and recently bought a house in sin city off of Eureka and Inkster and I gotta say that this neighborhood doesn't live up to its name. It's pretty quiet here and my neighbors are great. What more could you ask for? My Coronet is coming along slowly but it is my...

I'm glad you and your vice grips are back. Nice work on the new house. I never knew you were from Taylor, that's my stomping grounds. You're right you can take the man out of downriver but you can't take downriver out of the man. Nice work on the Cowl. I'll be starting on mine when the weather...

I found out that the K-frame fits into my blast cabinet if I remove the grate. so its cleaned up and sent to the power coater. I went with a gloss black to match to lower control arms.

Started putting parts together on the 512. I've degreed the cam, its a hughes engines flat tappet solid roller. It wasnt the cam I wanted, it's the one they had in stock that they could ship so the machine shop could fit the cam to the cam bearings. It's a decient cam just not what I wanted...

This is my first time using 440 source stuff and many people like you who have used their stuff really likes them. When I talk to machine shops they hate 440 source. I dont understand it, the Icon pistons are the forged versions of Keith Black hyperutetic pistons made by the same company. The...

I think We have the same parts from 440 Source and Soon mine will look like that. The rotating assembly is at the machine shop being balanced. 440 Source says it's balanced but I want to be sure.

Yea Santa is ripped under that bowl full of jelly hahaha.

I got an early Christmas Present from the Machine shop today. 512 cubic inches of big block hotness!

Yes it is and I had both of those blasted in an hour. My Harbor Freight cabinet would have taken days. Now I need a bigger air compressor as the one I have is pushing out 11CFM at 90PSI and can not keep up.

Nice work as usual Devin.

Got the new Grizzly sandblast cabinet put together and plumed with air. The first thing to get blasted was my lower control arms. I installed new bushings and greaseable shafts and welded in the stiffener plates. After that they got painted with Por15. I now have 90% of the front suspension...

I actually never thought of that. I was considering spacers where the trunk lid bolts to the hinge, or cutting the hinge arm and moving it over to make things fit. I will be putting washers on the hinge pins, thanks.

Thanks, it's also my first time doing anything like this. I figured there would and still will be, many setbacks.

Thanks, one day it will be finished. I have to redo my trunk hinges as the trunk lid sits to the left. No gap on the left side and all the gap on the right. You can adjust back and forth and twist but not side to side as far as I know.

The goal for this year was to get the Coronet off of the dolly by the end of summer, mission accomplished. I took the 440 in to the machine shop for some massaging and now I'm sandblasting the front end to get the paint and rust off and to make sure the metal is solid. I still need to weld up...
