Lucky grandson! Can't wait too see the progress on this.

scored a freshly rebuilt 340 and 727 tranny ready to roll for the project....now it's time to get really seroius!!!

 

[varmintjcl]

Making slow progress,,, had to build a makeshift garage to be able to keep working on it....looks like there's gonna be a lot of body work after a little soda blasting!!!

 

[varmintjcl]

So looks like previous owner had some ideas and did some sloppy welding. should I try to fix, or just replace?

 

[varmintjcl]

Floor damage, guess I gotta try out Classic Industries for a new pan!! At least damage is limited to passenger side front only...

I can't wait to see how this project goes. Looks like you are doing this the right way.

 

[varmintjcl]

This one is the most involved project I've ever done, but since it's going to be my Grandson's first car, I must do it all right and make it as safe as possible!!!

 

[varmintjcl]

OK, so weather is finally cooling down enough to make progress....cut out old rusty floor for new pan!!

I just fell in love with your build all over again :cheers: Good times on there way seeing you have your grandson involved =D>...JMO... it looks like who ever dun the work on your K frame did not paint and seal his work to except a different oil pan, should be good to go, but I would let a real tech jump in and give his/her opinion l: other wise I see a new and cool build moving forward ccasion:

Thanks Memike, I actually located a different K frame over the past couple months that was from an A body 340..so I won't be using the one I pictured..

 

[varmintjcl]

Ok so now crunch time is getting too close, need to make serious progress if we are to get this done for grandson's 16th b-day..only 1 1/2 yrs to make it happen!!!
bodywork now in progress...finally!!!
