Labor Day Weekend

Mom, dad, brother, brother's girlfriend, and sister all came out for the weekend with the intent to have my dad and brother help out with the truck a little bit.  Well, we got the entire front and removed (fenders, grill, hood, and bumper) and installed the engine mounts I purchased from Chevs of the 40's.  Everything went pretty smooth.  We were even able to mock up the engine installation complete with cylinder heads, cylinder heads covers, intake manifold, and carb.  I also had a chance to power-wash the entire underside of the truck.  Its not easy trying to remove what I speculate is 70 years worth or dirt and grease but everything is starting to look real good.  Progress is slow but steady.
