Let the fun begin.....I see a OMAX water jet sitting in the shop...great for making parts on when the chiefs aren't watching......Cory
Yep! How about a nice heavy duty alternator bracket...
Next waterjet project will probably be a throttle cable bracket. I'll have to figure that one out once the engine is in place.
Continuing on, I got the car up on jackstands so I can get under it and so it doesn't move around when the engine weight goes on and off of it.
and proceeded to take a whole bunch of pieces off...
Wire + can = awesome in case you didn't already know...
You know what they say, if you're not careful you'll learn something new every day.
Today I learned that taking the engine out of a Galaxie with a manual transmission is WAY more work than taking it out of a Galaxie with an automatic.
After many trips around and under the car I found my major pain in the rear. Bellhousing won't clear the drag link. I ended up pulling the idler so the link could come down a bit but still had problems with the starter and clutch fork.
I ended up taking the starter out and the bellhousing off the engine. Would have been a bit easier to do that in the first place. Learning...
Finally did get it out of there. How high ya want it? Everybody should have a forklift for this. Nice that some stuff does go well on a project, haha.
Best worklight ever IMO. Gotta love some daylight under the car and almost no heat.
There they are, Robert and Bobby. Bobby's the outgoing one. Er, incomming. Just kidding, they don't have names
Guess breaktime's over again...
