Jan 24th...I lied.......

I promised full pics, well when the car isnt back together theyre hard to take.

But it was a GREAT day, car stuff, lunch with the kids, my Dad is back in town, back to the shop more car work..

My dad posted a note on the car, its remminisient of things they used to put on the Mainframe computers back in the 60's .... YES 60's thats how long hes been a programmer and anaylst until he retired 2 years ago.......

I know things are getting close because the shop is a MESS again...that happens when there is progress, we dont stop to clean we just work.

When the shop is a mess its actually easier for me to find tools, what I need is out.

Working with dad again was GREAT, amazing what another persons conversation does when youre working to make the time fly...it was after midnight when we left.....

We "signed" the engine today.....and buttoned her up, checked triple checked, and well.....buttoned up.

Tommow morning it will go back in. Headers on Starter on Trans in, and Packup for Atlanta....

Lots more to do but weve got 3 days to do it and some help in Ga way....some items can wait till after testing, like gauges and some other items.....

Like my dad says , "When youre up to your ears in Alligators its hard to remember you went in to drain teh swamp" or something like it....lol.

A busy month coming up to be sure....after Gainesville a Motor change and a little R&R until Charlotte.....

Careful what you wish for I guess..

What an AMAZING opportunity....a once in a lifetime opporunity to build something like this car.

Thanks Pop !
