Well, I fired up my new engine a bit ago, now it's cooling down.  I have an 02 pt cruiser, 87 dodge truck 81 dodge truck and my 89 cummins diesel to start on over the winter for projects. Also Dons car, HK needs an engine, and I have this 572 combo going together in my mind still.

Scratch the previous, just got the engine running, turned out I fixed the wiring last week, but had flooded the engine in the process. This morning put in some ether spray and it just went! All start key issues fixed! Looks like its time to finally install the brakes and seatbelts.

allways doing something oe saveing up the cash 2

bout sums it up for me also.
Let`s see- new house needs lots of projects done,nothing major but will still keep me busy.
Garage is almost organized but still needs heat and I need to finish the insulation.Previous owner insulated the walls but nothing on the ceiling.  :o
Car projects-the `cuda will get some much needed attention/maintanance.Carb needs a rebiuld due to sitting,rear end needs a new sure grip,thinking of getting a Truetrac-any thoughts on that?I also need to finally finish the custom AAR hood and get it painted along with the front fiberglass bumper.Going to pull out the GC style headliner and put back the original style one.
Duster drag car needs quarters installed and plenty of bodywork and paint,engine and trans rebiuld so I can go racing next year.
Of course money is now tight so I need to work overtime,fix the brake line on my truck that blew yesterday.
road runner is patiently waiting on the rotisserie to be restored,383 is done except waiting for the shop to port the heads so I can button it up.
Girlfriend was complaining I never got out of the apaartment so she could have some time to herself, now she complains she never sees me!  :smilielol:
