finally making real progress 63 dodge

[bob myers]

My 63 Dodge project has been sporadic due to lots of reasons and excuses. For two weeks now I have worked steadily and really making headway. I believe I will be able to smell smoke in 5-7 days. Here are the quick details and what I have done in those two weeks:

Install long rear wheel studs
Insulate interior
Remove tank, paint and put in 3/8 pickup
Bend all fuel 3/8 lines and install.
Add fluid to dry brake system, bleed and adjust
Install engine and wire new ignition, elec fans etc.
install intake and exhaust manufolds
Install carbs, linkage, fuel lines
Install alternator, power steering and all lines/fittings.

Sure doesn`t look like much on that list, but it`s all done right. Here`s a few pics of the project.
