[QUOTE="SkidRoe, post: 31934, member: 3290"] Seems like Sunday afternoon's are the only times that I am getting to work on the project. This past Sunday, she got a bath. The weather was pretty mild, so she got put up in the air on the front end loader. I think this is the first time in 18 years that the bottom had ever seen the pressure washer, or the light of day for that matter! I never realised there were tie-down points down there!! With the bath done, “final” assembly started. I had painted all of the fab'ed parts the previous Sunday so the paint was nice and dry. Everything went pretty well, and we were even able to fire the motor up, runs good. That was when I noticed I had a couple of oil leaks from the remote filter set up. I was optimistic that a gasket would hold back the pressure between the engine block and my porting adapter, but that was not the case. Out came the motor, and the porting block went onto the mill to receive a set of O-ring grooves. I put it back together and put the motor back in, but that was as far as I got. Pictures are still on the camera. [/QUOTE]
