Progress.

The new engine (built from a T&L Engines short block) is almost together! It should be going in the car in the next weekend or so.

Nothing too impressive. I just hope it runs.

Re: Progress.

It took a bit longer than expected to get to it, but here is an 'action shot' from today's work.

Thanks! A busted knee has kept progress slow. Now I just want to hear it run before cold weather moves in. Next time I'll give in and go to the doctor sooner and quit being
