    I am thinking RABID trunk monkeys armed with sharp objects. Thanks! Going to get the Lo-Jack Early warning system, a KILLER alarm, and a kill switch. Might be a tad overkill but, I don't want this thing going anywhere!

    Well, a lot has happened since I last posted an update. Got the engine and transmission in it, got the fuel system in it (the gas tank was a **bleeeeeeep**!), fully finished up the brake system (still have bad dreams about looking for banjo bolts), even got some of the cooling system in! Had a...

    Updates! Missed you guys!! Well, waiting has finally paid off! Finally got her in the shop! When it was being towed, I had a smile from ear to ear. Was imagining pushing in the clutch and giving it a start up... hearing the rumble of the exhaust, the sweet smell of juiced up gas... **snaps...

    If I have to wait any longer (especially a few more years) I am gonna be a friggin BASKET CASE! I might as well just hang it up. The engine has been ready to go for almost a year now. The paint has been finished for at least 5 months... more than enough time has passed. It is time to get it...

    LOL! That was just too good! And yes... security is totally going to be beefed up! I am in the process of trying to buy a new house and would REALLY like to have a garage.

    Black Engine Bay I see a few of you guys have the engine bay done up in black but I just don't like it. To me, it looked like my car was at one time black and had it re-painted orange. Being a "shop rat" over at my Uncle's Body shop, I know the hard way, and the easy way of painting a car...
