1962 Update

 

Last week, went over to friend Tony's to help him and his brother in law, Paul, put the engine into Tony's 1962 SWB. A nice milestone for the project, and a good looking project it is. We almost had the gearbox in, but ran out of time.  Coming along nicely.

(Type '1962' into the blog's search bar above to see previous project images.)

The long-awaited hoisting of the engine underway:


Engine bay prepped:

It's in! Engine flywheel housing temporarily sitting on a piece of plywood while it waits for the gearbox:


Engine finally where an engine should be. Looking good.


UPDATE 2022-04-26: The transmission is now installed.

  1. Hi there - I'm in the market for new tires for my '59. Seems you kept your Super Traxions for a long time. Would you recommend them? Was planning to stick with tubed tires.

  2. Hi. The Super Traxions are excellent tires, very well made. They run well, not too noisy, and the quality of the rubber is very good, in hot weather and cold. I still have them, they're just on a different set of rims.
