Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Me, Myself, and I..........
 ....Today I moved the car off the lift and into the other stall so I could put the Engine in (Rolled real easy without the Engine).....after I got the Engine and Trans in, I had to get it back on the lift........But ......I couldn't push it up the ramps to get it back on the lift.......I ended up going in the Trailer and getting the Tie Downs and used them to winch it up the ramp.....Winch, block the tires, and winch again......Finally got it up and took a Nap.....Ken

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
It's amazing what you can do by yourself when you put your thinking cap on. You MacGuyver'd it onto the lift.
 By the way, your project looks awesome. When you showed your engine photos, my reaction was that it was too nice to be put into a car.

At least have the 'Trained Wife' sitting there "Critiquing" the work. BTW, it's lookin GREAT!!!!!

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Spent a lot of time today running around picking up "Stuff".......Picked up the rims from the Sand Blaster and dropped them off at the Paint shop.......Took a piece of Interior trim to the Paint store to get some paint mixed for the Inside Trim pieces...Went down by Mark Webster and picked up the Bumpers after Straightening and Plating.......didn't leave too much time for working today....But.......
This is the Fun Time.........Putting the Finishing touches on......makes it all worth while....Got the Emergency Brakes hooked up and working, put the Driveshaft in,Installed the Rear Bumper (still needs final adjusting, but I have to wait for some help), tail lights, cleaned the trunk splatter paint with WD-40 and it looks pretty good so I'll keep it the way it is,added some Engine Parts......Time for a Nap.......ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ        Ken
