Re: updated 2-27-2014 1972 F100 SWB Weekend Project Part 2
Well finally after getting my daily all straighten out I was able to start working on my master piece again. I was able to reply a coat of paint to the engine bay radiator support, steering gear box and under carriage. This weekend I'm going to apply more paint and I have to take my 390 back apart knowing what I know now on sealing intake gaskets. I'm just glad I didn't run it yet, its all a learning experience but a life time of knowledge!
Also installed new axle pivot bushings, Geez what a crap job to perform. My new bushings actually came with metal shells, so I had to drill out old rubber. And then cut the old metal shells out. Grind some of the new metal to even get them in the hole. To reinstalll I had to rent a press tool, don't even bother trying to use a hammer!!!!Here's a couple pictures!!!

New Exhaust has been installed and got my seat recovered. Also temp painted front clip just so it matches. Aleast until I can a professional paint job. Ill try and post some pictures soon, but the old girl has come along way.I almost shed a tear of happiness when I drove it with the new exhaust. Just ever thought all the work would finally get done.
