I should really change this thread to be more encompassing if all my random automotive pursuits. Started the Galaxie today after a long winter sleep. Fired right up. Leaking oil from the rear axle seal though. Poo

going to trans shop tomorrow to get the real axle seal looked at. I don't have time to dink with it
also getting the organization finally figured out in the main shop. Feels good to have homes

that bears repeating.
In reply to AngryCorvair, wawazat thank you both for your kind words. Getting close to dialed.
turns out I had End play on the axle set wrong. One shim and a axle seal and it's back home already
Yay for easy, and hopefully cheap, fixes!
Wet wetter added
alignment redone
new rad cap setup to force the overflow to work in
more to come
finally got through the big project. Back to Norma
tomorrow is parade day. Getting some other cars out, Norma isn't exactly parade material being a stick and that huge cam
That's tasty Brent!
No Norma content. I have a big project that is consuming all my time right now for a customer. Pictures below. It's fast, real fast
chassis came in raw. It was flash rusting just sitting there. Time to get some epoxy going
Got it all sealed up with a epoxy primer. What a miserable project. I feel like I got hit by a bus this morning after shooting this whole thing. Took just over 2 gallons of material.
Got chassis black sprayed, ran short on paint. Until tomorrow
quest? I'm already on a god damn quest
In reply to Norma66-Brent :
Overcooked pushrod? Looks kinda bendy...
What's the pushrod from Brent? Ford obviously based on distributor location but not Norma based on Eddy carb and valvetrain.
In reply to wawazat :
It's from my 79 f100 with the 400m. 
I picked it up from a family member that isn't doing health wise. He wanted me to come out and get it going after sitting for 10 plus years. I opted to pay him and just bring it to the shop so I can work on it on my time. That was a badddd decision.
it's coming in.. Norma has a dead battery new one comes in the am. Black f100 is running again after a new set of pushrods. Stuffs starting to move again
wax on wax off
got the first coat of easy sand on today. Finally starting to look like something
starting to knock the little E36 M3 out. Buddies helping me out push it over the finish line
we have a functioning parking brake!
In reply to Norma66-Brent :
TWO gallons of epoxy covers a lot of surface area. I know its not your business model, but would powder coating the chassis not have been a better path?
