Very cool Dave ................cant wait to see her finished, and is that the 1980 Mandella SS long deck you were working on last year about this time ?
Ha Ha Ha , you failed to mention the BIG -Dawg - in the pack ........................Ha Ha Ha Ha .....................MERRY - CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR !
Thanks Artie. She's in itty bitty pieces. Actually started disassembly back in 2011 in earnest; 2005 - if you count the reefer, a/c, superfluous cabinets, etc. At this level of teardown, I found my self putting a lot of stuff in the dumpster, recycled some stuff, gave some things away, and sold quite a bit as well. it'lll be a long road back.
Haven't decided if I wanna make it a bad ass blender or just a historical 1959 restore. It's a 5.9 horse Mercury Silent six. Given to me by a buddy. Had compression the day I got it.
