Make sure you have a list a tasks for Coop when he comes over Jordan knows he can't come over to my shop just to watch.

Spent alot of time working on the mav went to columbus to meet Craig to pick up steering setup
finally got the engine out on sunday clean up engine compartment put in steering and install new motor

Love all the yellow on the motor!!

 

reading the timing marks on that motor will be fun!

 

Probably going to put on a timing tape! I like the detailing on the motor.

 

It Been Almost A Month Since My last post hope everyone enjoyed their HOLIDAZE Did We Have Christmas ???
Worked On Christmas eve & Christmas day on The Car
been working like a Maverick Madman Should Like CRAZY on getting stuff done on the car
manual steering is in and working well ,got engine compartment all cleaned up and looking good my goal is to get the new engine in this weekend of the new year Also Started Sanding The Body Down Getting It Ready For Paint So Far Im Right on Schedueal For Getting It to The Body Shop For paint In February I Was Hoping Santa And His Elves Would Have installed the Engine For me on Christmas But I Must Have Been A BAAAAAD Boy LMAO Everyone Have a Great NEW YEAR

 

I see you have got the front fenders already hung on the car Mike. I hope they work out OK for you.

Santa told me when he stopped at my house, that the beer and pizza you left did not cut it. He said the beer was warm and the pizza was cold so the elves refused to work under those conditions. You know the elves went union last year and it is in their contract "Cold Beer and Hot Pizza" less than that, they can refused to do the job. Cookies and milk don't cut it any more! LOL.

Good luck with your motor install. I hope it goes well for you. Let me know if you need any more parts.
