Hoping to bring mine back home this week for the first time in.....I don't really even know, a month or so maybe. The neighbor thought I sold the car some time last year because of all the time it has spent away from the house having projects finished....

Took the "right" dipstick over to my brothers house, this will stop the leak from using a universal dipstick. Air conditioning has been partially installed so that the hoses can be measured and crimped.

Who did you have rebuild the calipers Ray?

Not much new to report, the other lower control arm is stripped and primered. Washed the rubber bushings for the end links in soapy water, and assembled the end links. Spent about 2.5 hours out in the shop today. Still need to work on the frame and finish stripping the other upper control arm.

Had an agreement to sell the BB engine in my '67 (yes, the newest one) but the guy pissed me off so I "unsold" it.
Now I'm keeping it.

Lol! Guess that is just as well.... What did you have planned for the replacement? Thinking of finally doing the LS?

Easy right? When I put my new one in I was quite pleasantly surprised how it just kind of pops in place.
