**PONY UP**

302 bored .30 over with a nice set of the smaller size combustion chamber heads on it dad brought down from my shop in Edgar. my friend billy has been building engines his whole life so i wanted him over there when we put the bottom end together. everything went together great and we should have it done in a few days . i had the crankshaft ground and micro polished . Stepped the camshaft up 1 notch. and the heads have been fully rebuilt with new springs ,seats, rockers. and a 3 angle Valve job. Tommarow I will order the aluminum intake manifold and a couple other odds and ends like a new fuel pump and distributor

**Keep On Keepin On**

**Taken-A-Brake**

Did the entire Brake system and It was a job Had some good help from Dad. Mom was making good suppers so we just kept on a workin. took 3 days and about 8 trips to the parts store for stuff they had to special order but it is done and looks great also got the front steering and new upper and lower control arms on replaced all the strut rod bushings and Glass bead blasted everything and painted it Satin Black it turned out to be a nice finish on the painting and the sand blasting is the only way to do it totally removes all the surface rust and old hard grease or paint. Also Replaced All the brake lines and new master cylinder I figured we were that far into it may as well do it all. the only thing I need to do on the front end is to put the new coil springs in They are 1 Inch lower than the factory ones to give it that Sleek Look hahaha. all for now .

**Shock Tower & Awe**

heres some before and after shots of the shocktower and inner fender well Apron replacement.

Lick'ity Tear Get That Engine Out Of There !!!!!!

Pulled the engine & Transmission out today and will comense deep cleaning of the engine compartment and the rest of the car. Then come the Replacement of the Entire brake system and the steering system. The Transmission that I pulled out of the car today was an "FMX" Transmission and was not standard equipment for this car so I purchased a rebuilt "C-4" Transmission That is considerably smaller and will fit much better in this car and allow more room for the new exhaust system. :)

Finished Product

I added some 1/2" High Density Foam to the seat bottom to make it easier on the buns. and a little spray of adhesive spray helps to keep things in place while your stretching the material over the seat frames.
