| Purchased a 2-owner/1-family owned '64 Coupe |
 |
| The paint is pretty rough! |
 |
| But hey, it's Daytona Blue! Can't beat that. |
 |
| The engine compartment was grimy and crusty. To be expected w/a 54 year old car! |
 |
| I had the underside steam-cleaned prior to pulling the motor (makes for a cleaner job)! |
 |
| Jerry & I prepared the '64 for the engine pull. I always love these days! |
 |
| Ready for lift-off! |
 |
| Jerry guiding and Chase raising "Big Red" |
 |
| The 327/300 hp motor is out! |
 |
| Fun day! Wayne 'n Chase |
 |
| My parents stopped over later that day. Mom said: "Where did the engine go?" |
 |
| Radiator expansion tank. Looks like it had some old repairs done. I think I'll be replacing that! ; ) |
 |
| "Cinni" - the dog has been watching on (with her foot injury)... |
 |
| This is an original Harry Mann Chevrolet car from Los Angeles. Sticker on the glovebox door. |
 |
| I have the original Protection Plan booklet w/the original owner (Tom C.'s) info inside. |
 |
| I've gotta keep that rear hitch and those original California black license plates |
 |
| Jerry pressure washing the engine compartment in my driveway. I was cleaning the intake manifold and carburetor. |
 |
| Jerry sanding the engine bay |
 |
| We found this Job # ("337") written in grease pencil on the passenger side firewall. |
 |
| Time for a new clutch and have the flywheel turned |
 |
| We had a few oil & coolant leaks, so all new gaskets are in order! |
 |
| The fenders had a lot of holes from over the years. The overflow tank had been relocated to the drivers-side. We're getting it back to original...so we filled the holes w/a little bondo and some minor sanding. |
 |
| The blue '64, next to the '63 Fuelie |
 |
| The front emblem needed replacing. A little prep work and... |
 |
| Ta Da! |
