Its been a few weeks and its been sitting in the garage. Big job to
take on and the wife wasnt too happy to say the least. She keep bumping
into the tail light trying to do laundry. Oops..
I finally got some work done.. Take a look at the 1st step. Had
no clue this thing would still have some fluids in it. I was wrong on that!!

Some time has gone by... Ive been busy building my home business techtori.com
so the hotrods have been on the back burner. I was also hoping my father
would have moved here by now, but life has other plans right now for him.
So for now we hotrod alone... Ive been pulling apart the front end and
disconnecting the engine to get ready for pullin.. My neighbor borrowed a
friends engine hoist and after some problems with the old transmission hanging
on for dear life, we finally got it free. What a big bad boy this thing
is. Wish I knew someone that needed a flat 6!!
