Got a break in the weather after 10 days of (10 degree) freezing temps and finally got the cars moved around while pushing the green one out to the shop and onto the lift. Today we are wet sanding & polishing a couple small spots that need correcting and then I'll get the rest of the exterior trim on and start with the glass install. While up on the lift I'll also start plumbing the hard lines and finish up the rear suspension, shocks, trac bars and brakes. First things first...is a total shop clean up this morning and to clear the bench. Wait...coffee first.
 Pushing it through the sticky snow (warmed up a bit yesterday)  That is my wife and my best friend helping push  On the rack and contemplating where to start

Car's back in the shop and finally up on the lift where assembly can plug away. Started fitting the Lakewood roll bar yesterday and have a little fab work to get the base mounts to fit correctly. Should have that addressed over the weekend and will also start on the interior work early next week.
 Cars back on the lift and ready for some work.  Lakewood traction bars about to go under the car.

Today I picked up the new engine from the engine builder. A CE coded 302 with 1178 crank, forged I-beam rods, SP forged pistons cut to 11:1 compression height, new 186 aluminum heads from Trick Flow, Comp Nostalgia 30/30 solid cam, Pro Magnum 7/16" roller rockers, Edelbrock TM1 intake, classic script valve covers and a freshly built 750 mechanical carb built specifically for this engine. Hoping to fire it on the run stand this Sunday. Video to follow.
Additional engine build pictures added to post #112 (Top of this page - look up ^^^^^ way up!).  (Dialing in the bell housing and measuring run out)  (New Trick Flow 175 CNC ported aluminum heads)  (Edelbrock Classic series finned aluminum valve cover)  (Edelbrock TM1 Single Plain Intake)  (Freshly built 4779 Holley 750 Mechanical Carburetor) Still looking to find a Crossram for this motor but will run this Day II intake setup for the time being.
