Default Engine ready to drop. More shiney stuff added.

Here are some photos of the engine ready to drop next Sat. I'm having a "engine drop" party next Sat.!! :party:







This is a late alum. vette bracket that was sanded, and polished. About 2 hours worth of work!!

If any one lives in NE Indiana, or NW ohio, SE Mich want to come attend the party, drink a couple beverages, and eat some spicey food, Party is next Sat.

Got the stiches out monday, but split the index finger open again yesterday!! Needless to say there was quite a bit of strong language escaping the garage!! I have it bound down tight now with some butterflies, and will watch it close.
