Funny part is the crank could be polished and one piston replaced and it's good to go. I wanted a stroker motor and figured this was the time to do it before it was going to cost a lot. All my parts were like new at this point.
I replaced all the week links in my lower for how I drive and love the way it runs now.

Just ordered the inner fender brace from us car tool. They will be here Monday and I'll put them on next week to. Been working nonstop on her trying to be ready for spring time, and that's coming quick.

Have not had a chance to work on my car due to helping a friend out that owns a speed shop here. The good part is I have come to not like LS Chevys due to how loud the valve train is threw long tube headers. Also been working on a lot of fords and I forgot how much I hated them to.

One side almost done to my standards. Forgot how much I hate undercoating till today. Think I am going to paint it all with roll bar and chaise paint black.
Sorry have not been working on it much been busy working on other peoples projects and have not had time for my own.

Some of the cars been working on and got done.
Put a supercharger and bigger can and valve springs in the vette also with full length stainless steel header and mangna flow exhaust.
Mustang I had to fix a power draw and brakes and also machine a set of wheel spacers that the customer just had to have. Also tuned the carb to.
GTO I set up a Willwood master with front six piston kit.
And finally the land cruiser had brakes and also a very bad job of a march pulley install on a 502. I just milled a couple brackets and got it all set up nice and no more belt throwing issues. Also fixed his master cly which was a hack job someone did in the past.
Due to these is why I have not made it back to my car. Got more cars starting next week so I will see what fits into my day.

A.D.D. Kicked in yesterday and I changed the fuel pump location to one I like much better.
