Have you been using the blast rig at all, or will this be the first time in a long time?
It's been way to cold here so I winterize it. I bought alcohol to mix in the water to keep it from freezing but it's even to cold for that driving down the road so I won't be filling the system until I'm sure it's going to be above 0°

I did take some pictures at the building today so you can see all the junk I've been sifting through. We're trying to clean up but there's just not enough hours in the day.

That's my buddy Eric's SS truck

There's my junk on rollers

Crappy cuda next to me

Eric's bike that area is supposed to be for engine work trans work and building rears. Hopefully by summer it is.

This debris field is where I'm supposed to do my metal work and where the tool boxes will be going against the wall. We're currently looking for old pallet racks for the back wall to put engines and heads on heavy Stuff like that we don't want in the shipping container.

That's jacks Chevelle and all his stuff. Jacks wife died of COVID last Wednesday so i don't know what he's up to Im sure his cars are the furthest thing from his mind at the moment. His nova is next to it covered on stands it's a done car and it's beautiful.

There's another shot of mine next to the 440 dart under the cover and blocked in by the never restored 70 cuda convertible

And the same. So I figured I'd also give you the money shot of the rag top

It's with us because it had a dashboard wiring meltdown! At least it didn't burn down. Soon as it's fixed it's out of there! The other cuda is next to go when it's done then it's no cars but our cars in the building.

I don't know how you have interest in a Cutlass when there is a Hemi Cuda in your garage.
It's just not what I like lol it's just a 1970 convertible in my way with a melted dashboard harness. The other cuda' is a 73 318 car that needs to get shipped to Ohio neither of them belong to the three of us that rent the building. The Nova and the Chevelle are jacks the pickup dart and bike are Eric's only the cutlass is mine and the only thing I'd prefer over that is a Henry j gasser but it would need to have the trunk option and full interior

I’m still waiting to see the 1987 442 the way they should’ve been 🤪
In time you will I'm getting older and that building has no heat. So I'm currently working on other projects where I have a nice warm building. This one will start moving forward this summer when I'm driving the 78

When I ordered parts for my other car I did order a pilot bushing for this one. That way I can give my crankshaft to the Machinist next time I see him

With all the progress on the 78 lately I've been doing a lot of digging in the parts stash and tonight My buddy Eric and I were at the building unloading the leftover parts from that olds 350 mess and I think we hashed out a plan for the next motor going in this car. I also think it's going to go together very soon. His suggestion to me was gather up all your junk and put all the best stuff in one motor. That said I'm gathering up all the parts I still have at the house tomorrow morning while Janet is still sleeping and loading up the shop truck. This way I get all my 455 stuff in one place. The weather is getting better so I'm soon to start spending weekends back at the building on this and weeknights at the shop on the 78. This way I don't feel like I'm going to work 7 days a week.
