My Engine Restoration Pics

Post by Spyderman63 »

I purchased the car new 47 years ago. I will show some before and after pics of my engine detailing. First work done by Bill Ingram at Hoopeston High School, Paul Kelenhofer Wellington, IL in 2000, Larry Claypool in 2005 and finally Jim Allen president of PCCA detailed my engine in his garage in 2007. Check out his garage as well as the detailing. It now has 80,000 miles without any major engine work. The turbo and carb have been rebuilt several times. PICS of the engine can be viewed at http://community.webshots.com/user/ljahn63 There is a file on engine detailing as well as 100 pics of the restoration. The engine after 25 years is in Barn Fresh. Engine detailing is under Engine and suspension.
