Thread: pictures of my 1950 Super engine running for the first time in 20 years

    pictures of my 1950 Super engine running for the first time in 20 years

    Here is a picture of my 1950 Super engine running for the first time in 20 years. I am still in the middle of my restoration project which is not close to being finished though:

    You can see all of the pictures here. Some of them were just taken for reference (not pretty but useful). I also have a few hundred reference shots taken of a nice restored 50 Special but I did not put them on the web.

    Here is the beginning of the pictures. They start with some more recent ones and then it goes back to the day that I got the car:

    Looking good in there. And, just like my wife, working on cars without gloves. Looks like the gloves are in the carb! Ha. Ah well....great car! Nice job so far.

    As usual I'm full of questions...so..where did you get the wiring harness?

    Thanks!

    Yes, I do use gloves a lot of the time when I am doing anything that involves lots of grease or chemicals. It is nice to be able to just throw them away and now you are clean. However, a lot of the time I think that I am doing something pretty clean so I don't put them on and then I end up getting dirty. I do the same thing with clothes. I have ruined most of my clothes (keep having to buy more for work).

    The wiring harness is from Rhode Island cable.
