OK forget the Block. It Froze and burst. I got the roof and a few other parts today. Jim was very helpful by moving the car close to power, then later coming back and putting the car up on stands after I got the roof. He said that he was sorry but did not want to start something by selling the whole car. He is going to save the car for a little while before crushing now because of recent intrest in it. A little while is how long? I determined that he was definatly going to crush the car at some point before I mutelated it.

Donar car has a 400/727 sitting in it. Will crank and run but not driveable. Red GTX in the shop is the project.

Long way to go on a tight budget. Wish I could do a full restore like it deserves. It will be a nice fun driver though. Some one can do it right later.

Great! Im glad the right person got the roof at least. That donor looks too good to cut up.

Sad that we could not save old yeller :cry: , but happy that someone is getting good parts off of it to get other b-bodies back on the road. :D Good job so far Ben. I too am on a tight budget, doing what I can when I can. Scott.
