Progress report

Been a couple years since I posted anything on here about my project. Mainly due to a lack of progress. I recently thinned the herd to focus on one project. I posted a few updates on my web site which you can find in my signature below.

Enjoy!

Nice to hear from you. I wondered what happened.

I've recently used your website to reference the rebuild of my 215. However, I just tried logging on through your link, and it's giving me an error. I also googled it and also got an error upon entry.

I'm anxious to see your updates.

Give the links another try and maybe use Internet Explorer if you're using Firefox. I had some issues with Firefox not rendering the pages correctly that I'm fixing as I run across them. This page has the recent updates.

Nice looking '52 215. I saw your thread on the trials and tribulations of getting your engine running. Ugh!

I didn't know Keystone Light made furniture. Is that going in the back of the truck when you get it road worthy?

Still can't access it. I'm using IE and tried it on Firefox.

You know the old saying, "Chrome don't get you home", but it does get you there for a browser.

Worked for me too.

The video shows you putting a Flat V8 in it? Didn't it pan out?

The flathead was in another chassis when I shot the video. I sold the chassis after pulling the engine. I wanted to run the 215 before pulling it to make sure it still works. I'll swap them once I finish painting the flathead's engine accessories. So, the truck I finally get built will have the flathead.

Kevin - good to see you back at it. I've also used your site as a reference on my 215. Hope you find a good use for yours down the road. Stu
