I need to break the camera out and get some pics. Heads are back and now the block is out getting freshened up at All-American. Build is still on track, slowly but surely. Engine bay will be repainted here in a week or so and interior will be finished. I spend a lot of time redoing a new harness as well so that will be dropped in with a full tuck also.

Boy does that "backyarding" bring back some memories!
Only it was in the dirt, a 56 Chevy and my parent;s back yard.

Lol front yard and my garage. One one side, the neighbor has a built LT1/DSC car and the other races motocross so I don't have any complaints here. I keep the noise down and its good. Engine bay was primed last night and we are painted it shortly. I will have pics up tonight

Plans have changed on the car. The windsor was sold and now the power-plant will be a 5.3 Chevy motor. I have everything but the fuel system and the trans ready to go in. I tore down the new 5.3 yesterday and will be pulling apart the bottom end tonight. I'm going to soak the heads and get them cleaned up along with having the block hot-tanked. I also have a spare 6.0 that I'll probably end up building next year.

Out with the old



In with the new!!
