Got a call today and I should be able to pick the block up tomorrow if the weather holds. I'm excited to see how this de-rusting process works out. Crankshaft also came in yesterday, here's a picture :D:D now this isn't mine but since mines boring I figured this would be cooler.

Good morning Sir.
I've have followed this thread since you started it and have completely

enjoyed each and every comment especially the constructive ones. I also lament your frustration(the name of my 1st race car in 1968), and keep cheering you on from a distance. I'm no expert by any stretch, and I actually figured someone else would chime in on the firewall picture on page 126. But seeing how no one has, I'll mention it. Maybe the picture is for reference which would explain the lack of rubber/plastic grommets on the holes to protect the lines that go through those holes from wear due to vibration etc. 1 less thing to have to chase down later if you know what I mean. Keep fighting the good fight. I know you and Amber will succeed.

That's far to nice to hide inside an engine

Needs to be on display at the sales counter

If its really going inside an engine, well that's just sick.....

Nice welding table. C/W are on the small side hence the 4 pieces of heavy metal in the 2 counterweights. The butterfly wings in the middle are cute.

Walt, we will absolutely grommet that hole, not 100% sure we have all the wire and cables figured out yet. Thanks for watching along!

Exactly how I felt about it. I said "can I just make a lamp out of it?" Going in a nitrous 632.

Glenn, took it to a guy in Wauchula, 122 Auto Restorations. Strip tank then "de-rust."

What did they charge for that? I have learned a lot about humidity in the south since moving to TN. I have 10 rusty 340's and a car body I want to strip. Is that the place in NC?
If I could read I would have seen location on the video.
