The summer was pretty busy but we have begun working in earnest again. First off, we got the transmission overhauled. It was $550. We chose
Transmissions To Go in Arnold, MO based on their competitive price and a personal reference.

We're going to replace the brake line before we put it back in. Those are ordered. Here are some pics of our amateur welding skills.

Next we ordered the engine re-ring kit. We got it from
Rock Auto due to their pricing and extensive selection. It was $290.41 for rings, rod bearings, crank shaft bearings, a timing set, a water pump, and a full gasket set. Then we started taking apart the engine. This was the part Eli looked forward to the most so it was nice to get going.
We got the rods out. We need a harmonic balance puller tool to finish the disassembly. So, that's where we are for now!
These days cost: $840.41
Total project cost: $3,000.68
