Shop time

I never had a chance to add an explanation to these photos, (so her it is a few days later)


Sat was a very busy day at the shop, we pulled Doug’s BBC 427 motor and re-sealed the oil pan and rear-main seal, it has been leaking. I told Doug that he was just a whiner about a little oil leak, but after we got it tore down it was leaking pretty good, he was just cleaning it up faster than I could notice it. But any way all re-sealed and back in the car, same day, no-sweat!


The fun project was getting the cylinder head off of Grandpa Rebers 37 Buick. It is an 8 Cyl engine and that is one heavy Cyl head, as you can see we had to use the engine hoist to lift it off and into the truck…They used lots of iron back in those days! It is up at Snows machine shop getting some new valves put in it.


I need to get this running so Clare and Mern can take it to dinner over at the Gun Barrel ( they would look cool )




Bonnie was the best shop helper ever! All day, she keep us feed and made sure that we were working and not BS’ing all the time. :)

I love you Bonnie for hanging out with me for the day. That was the best!
