Ed,
Things are a little tight this year but you sold me a 95% car. It's not terribly more expensive to get to 98%. Besides a lot of what I have done are mods....Ooops there's that bad word. I guess that I am allowed to use it.

I am a little mellow tonight. Here's a pic you took the day the 1967 left PA for transit to me.

I got a fiberglass spring from 79 Midnight Blue L82 from the Christmas gift thread. My best present this year from a stranger! Thats awesome!

I also got myself some things,
427v8's wilwood dynalite brackets for the front. Still looking for calipers.
a set of clutch and brake pedals for my conversion in the next year or 2
a set of roller tip 1.6 rockers
a used hydroboost

all purchased from forum members...... to heck with ebay.

I'm gonna have a lot to do this spring!

my poor wife has no idea what to buy for me because when I want something bad enough I find a way to buy it myself.

My Christmas present this year came a few weeks early in the form of 383 cubic inches: Olivier's AR motor.

The Wife came home and didn't appreciate....well I didn't see anything wrong with a Ho-Ho-Ho red hood at Christmas?? Aluminum valve covers and Silver Bells. Parking lamps and sparkling lights. Front bumpers and silver glistening. The theme came together for me, But....

All kidding aside, I hope Santa Claus was good to you All!



The little ball belongs to Miss Mew. Now hunkered down after a feed of tuna.

I got braided fuel lines and a set of roller rocker arms. Plus I got a few video games and I haven't hit a lick at anything today. Just stopped playing long enough to eat and get back at it.
