On the 4th of July the Roadmaster drove itself on the hoist and looked like this…
About 24 hours later it looked like this
Well that wasn’t so bad – at this rate we’ll be done by Christmas 🙂
The same thing happened to the 2012 Chassis a couple weeks earlier
Starting with two complete running/driving vehicles has made this project much easier, any little brackets, wiring harnesses, connectors, accessories, etc are all there. At this point I’m feeling good – making quick work of the dis-assembly thus far, no major issues rearing their head at this point. This is the “honeymoon” phase :).
Once I set the two engines/transmissions side by side, I had a “what did I get myself into” moment (or two).
With a little work, a dash of creativity and a whole lot of persistence, I promise it does fit, and no, there’s not a 6″ cowl induction hood on it either.
If I have not lost your interest thus far, you’re probably a real gearhead (or psychologist looking for a case study). Either way, there are many more installments with tons of details coming up. Thanks for reading and please comment below with any questions, feedback, suggestions, etc
