Haven't updated this in a while.
Not much new to report, made it 500 miles up/back to Car Craft no issues. Figured out we can do burnouts with liberal amounts of ATF under the rear tires

Ended up parking the car for winter mid-October, it developed a miss and lifter tick one night sitting at a stoplight after running across town. Ran it to the storage garage and stuck it in there.

It'll be getting a Keisler 5 speed, a mild Comp cam, Holley SD intake and some Edelbrock heads come spring then hopefully enjoy another mostly trouble-free summer of cruising.
