Quick Update.

Michael made some good progress the last couple days. I helped a little Sunday and we got the heads on, he has been plumbing and wiring and doing a awesome job. Good plumbing takes a while. Michael made all the A/C lines and ran them through the inner fender and over the kick panel in the cowl area to keep them out of site, out of mind. He also made all the braided line for water and fuel under the hood being sure to keep engine heat and fuel separated.

Ran into a big snag with the engine and found out we needed .300 over push rods which is a lot. The Trickflow 280 ovals have very raised stud pedestals which requires longer push rods for proper geometry. So we have some push rods coming in tomorrow and Michael will finish the engine tomorrow

So there is a lot to do. Tomorrow Michael will finish the engine and I will finish the stereo and hopefully install the original tilt column we bought if it gets here in time. If the tilt is not here we may use the original non tilt and get through the show and swap it later.

Weds Michael should be on the lift installing all the fuel and brake lines, Wilwood brakes, fuel tank, Moser 12 bolt, Hotchkis springs, Speedtech arms. Not much at all, LOL!
