1965 Chevy Pickup & Hemi Hydro combo

The boat, all filler is now gone, and it's ready to be re-assembled!





The two rails were glued into the boat, and the 392 was mocked up, it actually fits perfectly! I thought I was gonna have to fight with it since the '32's 392 is bigger than the original 392, but it slid right into place with ease!

A shot of the 392 with it's newly de-chromed intake and carbs...



The intake painted with some Metalizer Aluminum....



And glued in place between the heads!



The valve covers are now in place. All that's left on this engine other than the wiring is the old 392's oil filter, a starter, and a fuel pump and line back to the tank. I may add a battery too, we'll see if I can fit it in the back.

And I may have stumbled across a good look for painting carbs! I tried painting them with some Metalizer Brass first, but it wouldn't cover the plastic's oddball color completely. So I re-painted them with some Metalizer Steel, then Brass...I think they look just right!

Now for some putty being applied to the seams on the boat hull....

The putty sanded smooth...





The top of the boat glued back in place...



And finally, the putty applied to the seam on top. I'll let this cure for a few days to be safe, since it's got a few thick spots in it.
