73 monte carlo build up.

[blaze15301]

Well i did say i would post what i did later on so here we go.
I patched most of the holes in the cab tonight. I also got my new rad. The front end had to be removed again because I am getting new fenders.

Also over the week end i picked up this antique oil air compressor the tag says it is front 1943 and she still runs. Got it from a guy on Craig list for 75.

Im not sure what kind of engine to get for the car or what kind of low end torque to look for. So some help would be awesome. thanks
here are some pics

My new rad!! look how shiny it is.

look at those welds.

New V Old

driver patch

some cable sleeving i did.

In case you are wondering the new radiator is a all aluminum 1inch tube 2 row American radiator co ( aka radiator champion) rad from eBay.
that's all for to night i will try to do more nightly now that the welder is running again.

my buddy said all that rusted out metal is just a late stage II weight reduction.

Q

Lol yeah. If any one is intrested in my old rad let me know. It only has a few hole clumped together. You could cut it and use it for a mod.

UPDATE

Hello again everyone. I haven't had much time to actually work on the car like I would like, but I have manged to get most of the trunk patched up. I recently decided to resand the entire car back to metal mostly apply a epoxy primer then a sealer myself. If any one has any tips let me know. That new shiny radiator i was showing off last post is in the car. Here are a few pics and a video of the car running. i only have 1 picture and a video because the camera died.

P.S I love the roar of my engine, it's just so relaxing.

Nice progress.

BTW, if you put the link to the video in 'm' tags instead of 'img' tags, it will actually embed.

I don't really have anything new to report other then i changed the fluids but the brakes. The brakes went on me today. It is either the master cylinder or the passenger back caliper leaking I haven't figure out witch yet.

[blaze15301]

I am not sure what is wrong with my brakes but I replaced both wheel cylinders and the master cylinder and i bleed them. I get good pressure when the car is off but as soon as the engine starts i lose it completely.

Something to do with the vacuum boost?
