Major work got done this long weekend with all three of my children helping out.   ;D  First picture is of the new "Painting Tent" we constructed in the Garage with the car up on the lift so we could paint the underside without getting the '33s covered in overspray.  The next picture is my son and daughter after we pulled the engine a week or so ago.  The next picture is Noah working on the final taping and masking of the firewall for the final frame rail painting.  And the last picture is of the completely stripped, rebuilt, and painted firewall, transmission tunnel, and entire front suspension. 

We also finished the engine reseal and paint, and my oldest son joined us and showed us how to do a thorough reseal kit on our Transmission, which when finished we also repainted.  Next weekend we hope to reinstall both the engine and trans, and then start the rest of the reassembly.

Jeff & Noah, and Katherine, and Alex.......... :) :) :)

Very good eyes!!!  After my brakes failed from a blown wheel cylinder i decided to replace every last piece AND upgrade to a dual.  Basically a bolt on change with a very minor line configuration change
