Mercury Flathead block, Mercury long-stroke crank, Offenhauser heads, Isky 400 Cam, Ford AOD tranny. 
Chassis:

Wheels & Tires:
Stock
Body:

Interior:
Mostly stock. Stock gauges. Stock seat frame. Grease Girl and I did a temporary headliner with a pretty cool polka dot vinyl. Eventually I'll re-do the bench seat, perhaps with a bit of tooled leather emblazoned with BONDORELLA!

Delivery Day

Four years after I bought her, the flattie, tranny, and all her mechanical is done!! Still need to do the cosmetics... but she's back on the road!

Day of Purchase

Brought to me via flatbed trailer, she was driveable, but barely.

Loving Her....

From the minute I got her, I adored her.

Posin'...

Don't we all?

Sanding...

My first attempt to fix the bad Bondo.

My new heads!!

Very excited by the Offenhausers!

Flattie!

My Mercury block with Offenhauser heads...

New Front End

Gave up trying to get the layers of Bondo off, and instead bought this front end off of eBay. All steel!

Wood Bed

Refinished the wood bed. Still need to install, but ain't she purty?

Strippin'!

My fellow Gasoline Girls helped me strip the cab!

Off goes the bondo...

Grinding off the layers of bondo on the doors.

So Shiny!

I love the way she glows.

Under the streetlights.

I came out of a restaurant to this gorgeous lighting!

At 66 Motor Palace!

At Gasoline Gallery!

At Mooneyes!

Gasoline Girls!

Master Cylinder

I converted the truck to a dual res after losing my brakes.

Girlie Stuff!

Mooneyes!

Tony took this great shot of us arriving at Mooneyes!

Viva!

Love this pic by 53 Deluxe at Viva Las Vegas!
