Im still envious of you Ron! I want to bring my car home to do work, but i have dirt everywhere and no protection from the elements right now

Thats okay, shes inside out of the weather and soon to be back out on the streets.

I still love the fact that your build and my build are in close proximity with each other as far as how far along we are

Alright guys...ALOT of progress today this is what i got done today...

And a warning for you weak stomachs...turn away NOW!!!...CARNAGE FOLLOWS...

...cap bearings were toast...

...can you say galling???

...this one was COMPLETELY gone...

It almost looks like the oil pump failed since so many bearings are destroyed...
