Little update on the car work
You've come a VERY long way in a relatively short time Timo~ Your car is looking very good but I still want to see the paint OUTSIDE in the sun.. it should be beautiful..
PS. Old Chevys never die... They just go to another caretaker!
Yes you are right, they never die, just go to the next care taker!You've come a VERY long way in a relatively short time Timo~ Your car is looking very good but I still want to see the paint OUTSIDE in the sun.. it should be beautiful..

I got my vacuum pump today, i tested it to make sure everything works before i bolt it in. Its volvo s60 pump and made 25inch vacuum so thats plenty for my setup. I wired it thru brake light switch, then to reley and reley gets the power straight from battery and offcourse theres fuse in there also.
In 2 years, you have done more than most of us could do in 20 years, and you are thousands of miles away from any trifive parts store. Only 50 miles for me. Way to stay after it, and it looks great!
Thank you very much for the Kind Words! There are very little places where to get parts so thats the challenge when bying the car to build from. I had real fortune that all the moldings and the chrome was in good shape also, only like to chrome shops here and both are not in good reputation.
I think after this car in gonna be takan a little break from building cars, this is my thierd so far and the hardest also because of the mods in this.
This is fun car to drive and goes nicesely on the road

Little update or set baçk, i bought this ls engine here in finland from local builder. Well its the first and also Last engine i will ever buy, gonna do my own engines now on. So lets get to the point:
Rear main seal started to leak after 400km, stupid amount of work, started yesterday and finished today..the seal was definedly old as hell, it did not seal at all. Had to remove exhaust from the headers to the mid section, im really glad i made those to be removed
After all that work i noticed theres coolant drops here and there
Looked at the Water pump and ther it was! New pump and leaking allready
Bought new pump and gonna get it tomorrowand replace that also etc.
