Not bad cash in this economy. But I bet the experience just being there, was priceless.

A tow truck came by today and picked up my 69 SS and brought it to the paint shop. Amazingly my friend who stripped the car got both fenders and hood inside of the car. It was very interesting getting them out.

Cold here today, so I spent about 5 hours working on the photo album for the car. Did get the crank pulley done yesterday. Need to get cracking on getting the engine back in.

Got my engine al finished. I just need to prime the oiling system and drop the distributor in. Then do the cam brake in. But I have to wait till my mufflers come in later this week. My neighbors will freak if I fire that thing uncorked.

Thanks. I really took my time with the details. I think that comes from my model car building i do. On regreat. I did not paint the water pump. It is going to suck when it rusts.

I sandblasted my intake manifold after work this afternoon.



Need to finish cleaning it, and get a coat of paint on it. Maybe tomorrow, supposedly clear skies and 82* tomorrow. Still waiting for my cylinder heads to be finished.
