I’m trying to take the engine out of my big rat to do a rebuild, but I genuinely cannot get the bolts off the engine mount. I’ve tried PB blaster and everything.

Getting closer and closer. My neighbor is an old racer and gear head and had an almost new generic Carter carb laying around he sold me for a great deal today. I am unsure about the matte black air cleaner, wondering if I should go chrome to keep with the theme here. I don’t hate it just unsure.

I’m a fan of car-themed records and found this today.

It’s pretty hard to capture, but got a US stainless platter from 1936 today. I’m always looking for silver, but couldn’t pass this up. The 1936 is directly to the left of the flash. I’m an army vet, and I remember seeing kitchen equipment from the 40’s and 50’s and I always thought it was interesting how long it had lasted.

You may have seen the intake post from before, here’s a small update. I still have a long way to go but am getting there. I ordered a new power steering pump but it got delivered to the wrong house and marked as delivered so I will order a new one next week. The original was siliconed and leaked all over like every other fluid. I’m trying to keep this similar to how it was, which is why so much chrome. Alternator only mocked up, will order chrome hardware.
