    Just the frame rail repair, and a 300 mile round trip for said repair. Lots of fun, and a good trip. Thanks Frank, Jeff and Harold!

    Expendable part, just take it off...

    I dissembled the P/S control valve, ordered a P/S rebuild kit and all the hoses... Also painted the driver side of engine compartment and sprayed some fresh black on my belly

    Again with the help of good friends we got my car running after a year. It now has the transmission and differential from a '70 Boss 302, an Edelbrock Performer manifold and carburetor, Hooker 6901 headers, Autometer gauges and Monster tach in custom brackets and Lakewood traction bars (layin' around the garage for 30 years so I decided to use them until it gets tubbed.)

    I know, Craig, I took far too long stubbornly trying to get the hydraulic clutch linkage in before finally throwing in the towel and using the linkage I bought from Mean Maverick. But I will be able to drive it around town before the evil part of the year arrives.
