I rebuilt the engine and painted it battleship grey like it would of been on a 216, will eventually rebuild the trans. But just been driving her around. Attached Images

I kept it for a parts car for future purchase. Just bought a 1951 3100 pickup this week & lots of the mechanical will interchange. Will post a photo of both when I figure how to. Both are real nice.
