Hi Everyone, its been a long time

[oceangal]

and an even longer time since I have driven my car!!

Well finally the engine is back out (after 500 miles on the new 383 Stroker) something was going on with it and after inspecting it I am still not entirely sure what is wrong, but are putting a new camshaft in it. There is some electrical issue I think and really that's the only thing that I never did replace. The guy who rebuilt the alternator is going to take a look at it for me next week. Hopefully something easy to fix....but I know better!

I hope to be less of a stranger and if the Gods allow it....a participant at one car show this year!! I hope you are all well

so here we go again...

and hubby thinks he is funny:

Happier times, well at least she was running, but alas still not painted. just a guide coat but I do love the modified hood

where did you get those air cleaners?

Bought an extra original air cleaner on ebay and hubby painted it and cut it up. I like the look so much better - seems less clunky.

Hi Elaine!
That is the one event I have always wanted to attend. Once again, not in the stars. Even with my new optima battery something isn't quite right. Me thinks its electrical in nature, so hopefully will get it to be looked at soon. I am thinking it might be related to the original alarm system that has long since been rendered useless or maybe its the bulb in the glove box.

Someday......
