Finally an update. The Sara is just about ready to hit the high sea's. It's going to be in the opening of the beaches parade on April 17th at Jax. Beach. Sadly Ken's condition is starting to deteriorate, he will be greatly missed by all that have known him. I for one am honored to have known him...

I like original equipment, just watch the gauge's VERY OFTEN!!!!!!!!!!!

Top End Maintenance/Ol'Rusty 10 Ton (Video) Finally got time to make a short video. Enjoy!:driver:

Got the radiator in and all hooked up today. Turned on the ignition pushed the starter button and it fired right up:jumpin: It run's very good:grin: I forgot to take my video camera to the shop, so I will get some video tomorrow. I still have a real bad air leak to fix. It's going to require...

I've already spun the engine over with the sparkplug's out and reached about 20lb's of oil pressure[thumbzup] just with the batterie's:grin:

Made some time and got back on Ol'Rusty. All I have left to do is mount the radiator and fire it up.:grin: The radiator set me back a bit it couldn't be rebuilt so they had to recore it.

Got a little bit done today, sandblasted and primed the fuel tank, battery and step mount's, it's not alot but it's better than nothing. As soon as I get done with Ol'Rusty I'm going to try to stay focused on this one!!!!

Been thinking of doing this and I'm glad I did. Removed the bottom of the oil sump on the oil pan where the pick up is and I guess after 55 years this is what you might see, alot of muck/slim.

Thought I would start a thread on my trailer. I'm really not ready to do a complete restoration just yet, but I wanted to get all the moving part's moving again.

That's the whole idea.8-)

A few more pics. Getting closer to refiring Ol'Rusty. But my job is going to delay that. I fly out tomorrow to Germany, but I will be back next Thursday. I still have to have the radiator recored and a couple other small things.

Picked up the carb. this morning. I highly recemend these guys.

Few more pic's. Picking up the carburator tomorrow from Daytona Parts Co.

Couple more pic's. Cleaned the gasket surface's for the intake and exhaust and installed the stud's.

Hey Brandon, Big Red is up for grab's!! Give me a call 904-891-0444 Thank's David

Cleaned and painted the compressor.

Couple more pic's, Went thru and adjusted the valves. there was only one intake valve that didnt need adjusting. Everything else was out, but not to bad. Also cleaned and installed the Gov. drive and Distributor. Also the Comp. mount.

Got some color on today. I went with the 24087 from Aervoe. I would like any feed back on how this paint hold's up as the color is just what I want on other vehicle's that I plan on restoring.
