Re: '58 (nash) rambler american family project
a little more done today, just need to cut the bolts to length ready for final assembly. that is once all the black paint's stripped off. it wasn't much but it seems more..... which is good.

today we set to on the tunnelram base with my (lidl's own) sawzall and a couple of grinders. all the bits that interfered with the adapter are now gone and it fits a treat. the corners/edges of the carb plate are smoothed off and the super length bolts are all cut to length. we're waiting for blast media now to remove all the paint from what remains of the tunnel ram 
. it's done as far as modifications go so that's another job ticked off.

that's that done then, even though we didn't need to do it yet. but i couldn't resist . we'll have to knock up the engine run stand now to check out this 360. the results will determine if the nash can be on the road this year.... or not. fingers crossed

Re: '58 (nash) rambler american family project
we started to remove the paint from the tunnel ram today.... i know i said we'd start the engine run stand but i got distracted. so sue me, lol. well it appears it's not painted, it's powder coated. my heat gun wouldn't touch it so out came the plumbers torch, that works a 'bit' better then. we got just over 3/4 of the way round the base section in about 1 1/2 hours! bl00dy hell that stuff's hard! then it was dinner time which seemed strange so early.... 'til i noticed i'd not changed the clock in my garage, doh! pics tomorrow after hopefully finishing the base and top sections. they will need blasting as the primer powder coat doesn't fully come off. the sand/garnet/blasty rough stuff arrived today as well as the handheld spot blast gun so we'll give that a go tomorrow too.
