I am happy to say that after a complete summer of working on the car every day, I will mostly be driving it from this point forward.

Well, I washed my car for the first time in literally ten years yesterday and my brand new back windshield leaks.

Moved my 65 from my garage to my Father-in-law's garage. Then put his 71 Firechicken in my garage to finish his body work. 71 T/A clone with fresh 400. My little 289 doesnt stand a chance. I feel a 408 stroker comin on!

drove the car this morning, it seems to love the lower temps of fall. coming home after a stop sign made a right turn and stood on it..as the car shifted into second gear the rear end hit a bump in the road,it broke the tires loose and they started to peel out.. i just kept my foot to the floor with smoke everywhere. gotta love it!

The body shop where I had it painted did it. They will warranty it when I get it out of storage in the spring. More of an inconvenience than anything. Car never sees rain, but I do want to wash it once a year.....LOL!

Today I hooked the Oliver up to the '65 and towed it into the garage to finally get started on it!

Breaking in the new motor, cruised in the mountains for about 75 miles. I installed the courtacy lights. I finally ripped out the yellow spark plug wires and replaced with hipo 289 style wires.
