Update:
Tomorrow my younger brother will be coming over the help me drop the lower half of then engine back in and hopefully if time permits get the trans reinstalled. Ahh two less things to trip over in the garage.
When I had the lower half of the engine sent out to Harts machine in Ohio they sent the clutch off to Fort Wayne Clutch to have it refurbished. It is reinstalled but I am not sure how to go about checking the adjustments. Harts may have done it already. Looks like I need to make a call tomorrow to see if they did. If not does anyone have a procedure to check it?
Wednesday we will hit the body if all goes well on Tuesday. Plans for the body prep is to clean off dust then hit it with 80 grit paper on a DA (Ryobi), then hit her with some wax&grease remover, some metal prep (Picklex) since the body had been sand blasted last year there is some signs of surface rust which is what the Picklex is for. Once dry I will scuff her down and give her a coat of Epoxy Primer. With colder weather coming I wanted to get this done before then. Don't want her sitting bare again through another winter.
Will post pictures of progress.
