<p><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #00ffff">Here's the engine almost completed:<br><br><img height="768" src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/DSC03483.jpg" width="1024" alt="image"></font><br><br>It won't be long now. I drained the oil and then laid the engine on it's flywheel and wire wheeled the bottom and cleaned and degreased it. Then Ipainted the oil cover and drain plug.<br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/DSC03484.jpg" alt="image"></p> <img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/DSC03485.jpg" alt="image"><p>Monday I will install the filter screen, cover, drain plug and hopefully I will have time to install the engine on the chassis this week. I tried to get thespecial license plate registered saturday, but I need to get the car inspected by the state Police before I can do that. Indiana passed a new law that allowsyou to put a year specific plate on your antique auto. I have an old 1959 plate that belonged to my brother-in-laws grandfather. It is in near mint condition.It is also from the county I live in. Very cool to know the history of the plate and have it stay in the extended family. I started this build as a dedicationto my maternal grandfather and it will have plates from another grandfather from a family member. He was a car nut too and he was very into old Indianmotorcycles. The last few weeks have been very trying for me as I really don't have much knowledge of the mechanical side of cars. But I have been verywell coached by our hotrod shop mechanic. It aslo helps to have a repair manual handy. I have faith in my abilities though, I totally restored a 1963 PontiacLemans convertable 18 yrs ago and did everything on that car too. Never had a single problem. Oh well, in a few days my photobucket pics will be back, for nowI will be using my sons account.<br><br>Enjoy, Steve<br></p>

Sorry guys and girls.... My job as an autobody repairman sometimes gets in the way of my side projects. Also my job as a father takes precedence over my hobby.I got the egine almost ready to go back together with the trans. I just need some motivation to get back on track. It's hard to find time when I am workingon my own daily driver too. Updates are coming soon.<br><br>Steve

Steve,<br><br>I've been meaning to ask; did you convert the car over to 12 volt? Is that a difficult conversion? <br><br>Bob Jordan
