You mean you wish you were crazy enough too do his !!
but thanks for the complements
This car is just full of surprises !! Have ya ever noticed that when putting these cars back together, that for every two parts you put on, that you have to remove one part...?
As the sequence, of putting the parts back on, are so crucial

That is exactly what I always say. You can see everything on the car, however getting a wrench on it or getting it off is another story. Good luck.

You guys should stop encouraging him. He has an illness that drives him to this. Eddie is a fine fine man, but watching him "work" on this motor is like watching Richard Dreyfuss build that mud replica of the alien mountain out of mash potatoes...

Whoa whoa whoa, you're actually gonna drive this when you're done? I would have a panic attack as soon as it rolled out of my driveway!

Who am I kidding? I'd drive the hell out of it

Tell ya what Ed, If you don't or can't drive it, let me know, I'll fly out and beat the **** out of it for ya! 2500 miles since re-assembly (15 days ago for anyone not keeping count) and counting! I'll be needing an oil change in a couple days at this rate!
