    Well, I had the engine tore down and re ringed, the trans and torque were rebuilt, I moved my ignition inside the glove box and removed about a mile of wiring, installed a newer style fuse box beside the original so as to power all the extras (line loc, msd, fuel pumps...etc.) And before spring I would like to have new front seats and bumpers.

    Well-my 340 top end redo ended up being a total teradown due to a wiped cam.Just ordered the parts and sending out the block and crank sometime this week.
    All the structural crack repair on my grille is done and now just need to do some skim coats of finishing putty so I can paint it.
    Custom AAR hood project is coming along with the scoop sectioned out of the hood but now need to form the styrofoam mold to raise the scoop 1-1 1/2" and fiberglass back in place.
    Still haven`t decided on a stripe yet!     :banghead:       :1zhelp:
    And only 40 days till the track opens!

    I cant recall what I said..But..
    My truck's done for now. I still need to replace the rear section of frame rail, but it's plowing and doing dump runs in decent shape now.
    The '68 (customer) Barracuda notchback is about ready for it's etching primer. it's all bare steel, some bugs still to fix..Like drip rail in trunk and some trim holes we dont need. But it's coming along.
    The 505ci stroker is coming together now. I'm installing pistons/rods, all clearancing is done. Still need to order pushrods, but I have to ge the top end on first. Should be at that point by the end of this week.
    The 451 RB (my experiment) short is donee, heads are to be flowed this week (ported 452s) and milled, so the top end can get on it. Then it's the running stand for both engines, and the dyno for the 451.
    8 3/4 for customer is done, awaiting final $quaring up and shipment.
    The block for my Swinger is supposed to go to the shop this Saturday. But time and finances may change that plan. It's still way early in the project anyway.
