Well it has been a long road that we traveled as quick as possible. But we are finally on the home stretch. Engine and engine bay are all ready to rock. Front end is as repaired as it will be for now. will get it repainted here in town later in the year. We dont do airbrush work so need to find someone. Want to thank all who helped out. Rock at Firecore, NIf at Hoffman Performance Products, B1Polara for his assistance, Les Figerora and the guys at Figspeed, BeCool, my son Steven and lastly the Hot Street car which now is missing some parts Anyway here is the latest progress on the engine and bay.

Will get some pics up of the front end once we get it wet sanded a couple more times and a final top coat/sealer on it.

thanks for the kind words gentleman. We do what we can. Should fire it up Saturday, only because I am leaving town for a couple weeks to Texas the first of thwe week. The water pump is not happy and headed back to Meziere to get fixed while I am gone. Just wanna make sure all is well otherwise set timing etc. Otherwise it should be good. She even got a new fancy driveshaft just cause to replace the 15 year old steel one:)
