    Engine shot... 351-W Summitt crate motor.Got it running today:dance:Seems pretty stout will know if the lope in the idle is from sitting for 8 yrs or if it actually runs like that if so mmm..yummy Carb needs some tweaking/cleaning along with a whole host of poorly done things but it will whip onto shape with some TLC.

    Progress is on the back burner for the forseeable future...gotta finish my blu mav first.So about a year and a half before I can really commit to the sprint.Its all good though.

    My friend Danny... couldnt have gotten it here with out him.Dont know how many cars we've dragged up from all over the place over the years.
    yeah the skinny guy is me,after this pic was taken I finally started to get exited about the whole prospect of having another toy.
    The stable mate... Dans 66 tempest,we pulled this one out of a tiny garage and blocked traffic on a small side street too to get it on a trailer.

    Looks like a great car. Love the mudflaps!!!

    Floorboards look almost green in the pictures. I assume it is the Grabber Blue.
