They're not nice. I heated them with a torch and beat them with a hammer. Smeared a little bodyfill on them before paint. And chose a picture where they didn't look like complete *ss...

But thank you. I looked for an arbor press first. But only found a 1 ton at harbor freight (Nothing good used). Of course I broke it testing ideas, so I used the BFH I already had.

I installed my Holley sniper efi today. What a difference in running and starting. Pretty easy to install. Had to modify filler neck on the new tank and one vacuum port. Easy to program.

**** I shoveled around mine. Tried to start it and it only clicked. 6" of snow on top of freezing rain on the hood so it will sit in purgatory until the snow melts off the hood

Fit and stitched in the driver side Opera light hole. Blasted some Pantera and had a good time finally making some more progress. Hope to get close to putting the windows back in soon.

Nothing, but then again, I have not made a trip out to the garage since I took some progress shots of the new exhaust system last week. May finally overcome an extreme case of personal inertia and fatigue today and get back to it. I hear you about the snow, the total drop here was around 10 inches in two falls with a layer of rain/freezing rain in the middle to make work really interesting. Think that is where the fatigue came from; you get so focused on driving and watching out for all the winter grade kamikaze road warriors driving like it was still summer and by days end you have just enough left in you to get home, thaw out, eat, and crash for 9 or 10 hours, just to get up and do it over again the next day.


Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will try to remember to take pictures.

Is it strange that I miss that?

As I wait for the new backing plates for my 12 bolt rear to show up in the mail
I decided to start my 20 over 6 inch rod 350 build
Eagle crankshaft and rods
H140CL sealed power piston
Managed to find myself a real nice nodular iron cap 010 casting 350 block had it honed to 20 over
Checked the balance of the rotating assembly
