Every now and then I update the post I started for my car. It does get annoying when they aren't all in one post. I think I may copy and paste all my other posts to the first one.

Usually I get more done during the winter. I dont mind being cold but I cant stand sweating constantly so winter weather feels good to me. Haven't done too much this winter because I need to do bodywork and I just now put a filter on our air compressor, water powered tools aren't the best!

I wish people would post more about their vehicles. Aso It would be cool to have some posts in behind the shop for those unrelated projects. I know we aren't all just working on our cars. I'm curious what other toys some of us work on.

Here's my mess... Black/primer one is my '71 340 car. Green one is a '72 340 parts car for the '71. I'm stripping that one down right now, keeping what I need for the '71, and selling what I don't need to start funding the project car. Hopefully I have it on the road before my kids are out of the house (they're 4, 2 and 6 months) :lol:

Glad to see the board back up
Car is 80%
All FAST engine controls done
Runs pretty good
Got a whole new glass kit from Rick Gorski
1 year headliner project stalled

Super bee engine blew
Had to focus on getting new 4250 stroker built
so i had therapy between putting car back together.
Nothing like six pack syndrome
