Here are the pics i promised . Here she is with her fresh coat of Cadillac blue [/URL] [/URL] This is the breather cover I built so I don't have any more problems with water getting into the engine. [/URL] [/URL] [/URL] I built it out of this old refrigerator door and a louvered top to a fuel...

It has been a while. Got it all back together. Went to a local (small show ) ended up getting Veterans choice and peoples choice . I painted the engine up. It looks nice in Cadillac blue . I will post some pics tomorrow . I am also building a breather so water will not get into the engine again.

Does anyone know if any company makes an adaptor to connect a Detroit 3-53 diesel to a chevy tranny ? thanks

Thanks

Does anyone of you guys own a Simadre Plasma cutter ? I am looking at one on Ebay. I have been putting the hours in lately .I have some overtime money so I thought I would get my self a Plasma cutter. I don't have enough to buy a name brand one . It looks like this one will do most of what I...

I am going to order some steel for the floors . I was going to use 20 gauge . Is that the right gauge? on the truck I just used a fuel oil tank .

Those are two patches. That whole front piece is bolted in. I wish I could fine one to replace it .

Torchie was right they were pinned in . the door panel had a spring behind it . I pushed the panel in and the wife pushed the pin out. She said she was cold and went back into the house. I stayed out in the garage and took the whole interior out.The plymouth even came with the optional heater...

I got a used rod and a gasket kit coming for the 390. There is a guy in PA. that deals in old caddy parts . I should have the parts by Saturday . Right now the truck is outside covered up with a tarp . There is not enough room for all of my projects in the garage .

Finally got the motor and tranny out of the Caprice .It has been in the garage for several weeks. I tweeked my back and didn't feel like working on pulling the motor for the last 3 weeks. The wife and I used the tractor and got the 46 in the garage Sunday. She started taking the interior out...

Change of plans .For Chrictmas I bought the wife a Parts car. I got it for the motor and tranny . It is a 1989 Chevy Caprice Classic . It ran good and shifted good. I got it for less than I was going to pay for the tranny. Plus Now I can keep my big block . I put my 50 Ford outside so l could...

I just went through all 36 pages of this build. Great job . I know where a cab over truck is setting . After reading through this build I think I will stop and check it out. I still have to get the wife's 46 Plymouth done before I bring another project home .

Thats what my cousin say yesterday when he seen it .

It bent enough to rub against the crank and stop it from rotating .

[/URL][/IMG] So this is what I found when I tore the caddy down. The good news is that everything else looks good. The motor has been rebuilt in the past . The crank is 30 under but the bore is still original . I found a place to get a used connecting rod .So I need to get that and a gasket kit...

[/URL][/IMG] Not sure what that damage is yet. I went to start the truck the other day to bring her into the garage . It fired and made a funny noise and did not turn over the whole way. What I figure happened is when the cover got blown off rain water went past the breather and made it into...

Do you guys know of anyone that makes floors for this car?

I have been doing some research . I found some disc brake kits that don't brake the bank. I am still trying to find more info on the cavalier rack and pinion . I found a turbo 400 tranny for it and I am trying to talk to some people about a junked out 95 explorer they have in their front yard ...

[/URL Well here she is. We made it to two shows and a drive in this summer. There is several things i need to do. First I need to shorten my pitman arm . I have some bump steer. I also have a kingpin problem.Actually more like a axle problem. The hole where the kingpin goes through the axle is...

Very interesting build. You are doing some great work. It may be over used but you are truly thinking out side of the box.
