And we all thought she'd be a garage ornament for life! Just kidding, Danno.  :2thumbs:

Congratulations DMZ73!  Nothing quite as exciting as a maiden voyage.  PK

Well since you asked....
This is the car my kids affectionately refer to as the “Purple Car”.  I guess it’s a generational thing but they don’t get Plum Crazy, their loss I say. 
This was originally a 318, 3-speed car that had an oil leaking 340 when I bought it from my brother.  What started out 4 years ago as a simple project to stop the rear main from leaking that should only take a weekend, turned into installing a stroke 360.  While I was at it I stripped the car back to the firewall and re-built almost everything making it take even longer.  I hope to get the body painted this fall so I can stop qualifying as a Rat Rod!
