    That sounds cool.....:thumbs2: To many of our cars look like each other. With a body style like that its hard to think outside the box.

    Got the 9" ready for narrowing. Looked in the tubes and found all that sand imbedded in old 120. So I cussed for a minute and got an Idea. I ran in the house passed the wife on the way to the bathroom, she had that look. I got a 3" straight toilet brush, snapped the handle off and ran out the door. I took some duct tape, a legth of 1" PVC and made a Bore Brush. Filled the center housing with acetone and cleaned the tubes like a rifle Bore Just kept running clean patches till they came out clean. Now I have to explain to Terri that Im not having an episode.:oops::oops::oops:

    Got the 302 donor motor almost ready to install in the 70 Grabber. Installed the valve stem seals, 4brl intake, aluminum valve covers, exhaust manifolds. Next job is install the C-4. Then drop it in...:thumbs2:
    Not going to worry about paint at this point. I'm on a fast track to get
    it running...

    We took the Mav on a nice long drive... Went to Ceder Key then off to Chiefland for dinner.... On the way back the car spit out its alternator bolt, the long one with the spacer... I yelled what was that as the bolt reached the flex fan and put a nice dent in every blade,lol... Well the fan kept the bolt from falling out and the spacer dropped down in a pocket by the water pump so I was able to put it back together and go home....

    Frank, I have to say it.: A LARGE TIME WAS HAD BY ALL :dancing:
