Default Long Summer Ahead

After many months of debating .........the 502 came out this morning,to be replaced with a fresh 454. seemed like a real good idea abou 8:00 am. it was gonna be short and sweet 502 out 454 in. but...........I just can't bring myself to stuff that pretty 454 in that nasty looking hole. so it looks like several weeks of cleaning, powder coating ,painting ........you know the drill. what have i done to myself, think i'm gonna have a beer and think about it

going to try to get it back to stock over time. besides that its a miracle i haven't got a ticket. although i have scared myself half to death a time ot two. i'm getting a little old for that kind of stuff. and who knows maybe the 502 will find a home in something else.
