When I was a kid I HAD to help my dad and his friend restore a '27 Ford pickup. Slowly I began to think of it as fun rather than a chore. Over the years the project progressed and I moved away. Eventually the truck became a national show winner. My dad passed and years later his friend offered the truck to me but at the time I had no way to keep it. I often wonder where that piece of our past is now.
I used NiRod nickle rod on cast steel . 6011 on cast iron also .. Welded many manifolds blocks etc. Peen weld when red hot to relieve shrikage when weld cools . Preheat helps .

@@kirkwilson5905 thanks for sharing your story
Good memories of doing stuff with your Fathet!
Nice job. Keep another one going. Especially a 28'!
28 blocks certainly seem to be more crack prone!
