Made an engine bay brace to hang the engine from in preparation for dropping the K frame out to re build the front end, brace and strengthen the K frame, drop the manifolds off the engine, replace the welsh plugs on the sides of the block, bolt on new TTI headers, mini starter etc

I'll be going out to my garage in a little bit. Grabbing a sure grip chunk that I sold. And give NIKKI a little pat on the azz. Its still cold (29) and my yard has a foot of snow in it yet...........  :crying:

Just brought the Beast back home on Saturday from the paint booth. I had to get a couple of little rust issues taken care of. Next weekend will be getting the engine ready for the upcoming cruising season. Adjusting the valves, carbs, spark plugs, and an oil change.   :working:  The following weekend the car will get attacked by the clay bar and a coat of good wax. Then it will just about be ready to go for the April cruises to begin....   :2thumbs:
