Engine Repair

Well I've started the process of removing the engine in Pichirilo. As you will be able to see the radiator and some minor components are out. Because the engine is frozen on the vehicle, I have taken out the spark plugs and added marvel mystery oil to the plug holes to try to free up the frozen pistons. But for now Nayah & I had some fun taking photos of the car. Here are a few. I hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment at the bottom of each post. Or give me some hints onto what the hell I'm Doing! :O

1948 Plymouth Special Deluxe

Well, it has been 14 yrs on October 27th since dad's passing. Since then I knew that it was going to be my responsibility to take care of one of dad's prized possessions. His 1948 Plymouth Special Deluxe Coupe named "Pichirilo". Over the years it has been sitting in the garage at our Bakersfield home. On October 28, 2007, I had it towed to my house in Orange County. The car was fully restored by my father and was running in tip top shape in the photo above. That photo was taken approximately in 1988. Surprisingly enough the car is still in extremely great shape. However, it is not in a running condition. The engine has ceased up and will need to be rebuilt.
On this blog I will share images and events that occur with Pichirilo. So stay tuned to keep up with what goes on with this beautiful piece of machinery.
