Old Iron your first shop sounded pretty good. I started out with a 16 ft X 24 ft converted chicken coup and now have a 30 X 30 shop with 12 ft ceiling. A lot smaller than some but it's big to me.

Great car. When I was a kid my dad had 4 of those cars. 2 53's and 2 54's. The only thing I hated was hand rubbing the lacquer paint. Dad didn't like buffers. Yours looks like it has 1954 taillights. They looked much better than the 1953. [dr

On the first test drive he did a 2 foot wheelstand thru first and second but blew motor at top of second gear. He didn't understand why it blew, he was only turning...

Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions. It's been determined that the problem has to be in the engine, So, He's replacing it with another engine he has. This should be interesting! 454 .030 over, roller cam, aluminum heads, and tunnel ram with 2 750 holley carbs.:eek: IN A JEEP CJ !!!

Thanks for the ideas. It has a serpentine belt setup with reverse waterpump which has been replaced twice. Timing has been checked many times and it is a new crate motor from GM. Not sure if he's checked for cracked head as it's a new motor. Will ask about intake gasket. He thought the first...
