Thank you Tom. I was thinking about how to file nice looking hexagonal holes and decided wrenches
would be more fun.
Also, I was thinking of you today and the footer in your posts, as I was enjoying a good part of my
day lying in the sofa with the cat on my chest, and my grandkid sitting on my legs, reading books with
her and her sister. Time well spent, even if it wasn't spent in the garage.
Thank you also, sammons Always fun when the work you do show like they do at this time. It
feels like progress.

I spent a couple hours cleaning off most of the dirt off my engine thursday evening, efter getting it
bolted to the engine stand the night before. 



It's a ton more work that to clean up a chevy small block, there are so many small shapes in the
block and the heads, it's taking a lot of effort to get it clean, probably three hours was spent after
taking  the after pic above.
I dropped the bottom part of the oil pan to clean it out and check how bad it looked inside. Not
very good, but with some luck, the engine might be serviceable.



Tomorrow I'll probably go get a couple of those rotating nylon abrasive wire brushes to scuff the
block and heads with to give the epoxy something to grab onto. Before that I'll do some engine
work, cleaning the vavetrain some and flush the engine with some oil and diesel and ...
We'll see.

.  You can use aluminum sheet for door panels as well.  It needs to be cleaned with quick dry wax & grease remover and scuffed for any adhesive to stick to.

Looks really nice Essex!

Here's a funny twist of events.

This morning I ordered the tilt steering column with shifter and key.
 Then after work I went over to my dad's to sell a old dirt bike we had sitting around.  While looking through stuff in our storeroom for more stuff to sell, I glanced over in the corner at a 72 truck hood and sitting beside it was a 68 GMC steering column w/shifter. 😲
Now I'm seriously thinking of canceling the order.  Or can use it for mock-up and pass it along to someone down the road.
This does give me info on some critical measurements I needed.
Anybody need a column  ?
