Another engine rebuild has been completed and we are up & running :beer: . After installing the engine and making sure it is "right", I have been working on a few things that have been neglected like fixing the non working passenger window, bleeding the brakes, small valve cover leak and fixing some headlight issues. Just about ready to drive it to work one morning. Other than probably being to low (thanks Kostya ;) ), we are pretty much good-to-go.

I think I am going to wait a day or two for warmer weather. 30 plus miles in below freezing temps w/o heat does not work for me. Call me a wuss :help: .

Been waiting for a call since we last talked Bo :thumbs: . I am available most anytime (except tomorrow and Wednesday due to jury duty).



Cool, Sounds like Ben has an open invite for all, at What A Burgers on Friday. What time Ben?
