Plan to make my first test drive today since getting the car running. I have not been behind the wheel for 6 years.

My long block is back at the machine shop. I am having a PTV issue, which escapes me. The combination of parts should not have that problem at all. Going over after work Thursday to tear into it and see what is wrong. I am off Friday, if the weather holds - I need to tear into that frame and get it all in primer. I would really start to feel like I am getting somewhere with this car if I could get the front suspension all back together, and install the engine & transmission. (plus it would get a lot of big parts off of the shop floor)

No drive tonight. I had to rush from a 100 miles away to the ER where my son was after he got injuried on a construction site today. He's home now but in pain with a left knee sprained or torn ligaments. Will not know for a few days until the swelling goes down and see if he can walk. He may need a MRI later in the week.

I drove it, I drove it, I drove it tonight. Like a kid in a candy store. Car drove great, but have a lot of issues with the gauge cluster to work out. Just click on the photo

No smoking burn out on a brand new motor. Need to put some more miles on it. It runs but still need some small adjustments to get it running better.
