It’s been three years since I provided an update on this project. While Mark progressed with the body rebuild,I did some mechanical stuff at my shop.
Here is the progress on the engine.


I had a nicely restored oil pan and then found an NOS one. Stripped off the factory black ‘parts department” paint and got it ready for the car.




Wanting to maintain an assembly line look,I kept the paint thin on the underside of the oil pan. On the original cars examined at MCACN I noticed the pans paint was thin. I prepped the pan and sprayed with a Matte clear. The blue paint was sprayed on from the sides.


I shot a few photos of the internals before the pan went back on,showing the original stamping son the rods and pistons.
