A few more parts to add to the second engine.

Fuel line, non AC alternator brackets, washer pump delete plate:-) (That will make my car faster than hell on wheels:-)

I am still here:-)

I need to take the steps to get back in the garage....

Admit I have a problem

Get my ass in the garage and grind, and weld, and enjoy:-)

I have a major outage/shut down at work so I will make plans following that to get back on track.

I revised my revised schedule and I still believe I can drive the car summer 2018.

I hope a Newfoundlander will move in next door to play cars all the time!!!!

Update:

More thoeretical progress:-)

I brought parts home from all over the US:-)

Inline tube parts:
Cowl seal, distributor cap, battery topper (don't hate I can't afford 500 for a battery) heater core, bare steel paint, (350 gold is already with the engine builder)

Dan Vasic picked up and brought me used grilles, one is ok and the price was good.

Grady Burch picked up parts for me from Dave Siltman, air bags, drag shocks, washer pump delete plate, W27 rear end cover, fuel line, non AC alternator brackets.

Nick Morocco brought me aluminum shift linkage rods, heim joints, jam nuts, and a spicer 27 spline slip yoke.

Jamie and I stopped at Summit in Talmaj Ohio OMG:-) Brad Penn break in and muscle car oil, Wix filters, AC plugs, 1969 Chevelle 4 speed hump for RamRod.

Visited Tweed Vorhees and got bell brake drums and Lakewood hop stop bars.

Parts, parts parts:-)

Parts are nice, but Jamie and I had a trip we ail never forget and the parts are like a cherry on top.

More theoretical progress :-)

I decided I wanted to put my M22 in a 69 COPO Chevelle..... I don't have one so I reached out to a couple guys restoring a COPO and as it turns out Grady Burch needed a trans for his "Ribbon COPO". "She went to a good home:-)

As I was in a 69 COPO transmission frame of mind I firmed up with Nick Morocco to buy the Liberty Super T10, 2.64 first gear, First design, Trans from his Yenko:-) Also I threw in a few ice cream cones and we agreed on a zoom clutch, Hayes three finger "12 bolt" pressure plate, and Vertigate Shifter:-) If that doesn't give a car guy wood you better get little blue pills:-)

I plan to use this and my Lakewood, Hotchkiss control arms,
Lakewood no hop bars, air bags, drag shocks, etc, with the Mascar W31 at the FAST race at US131 by Martin MI.

Whoot whoot
