It has now been 48 days since I hurt the engine in Barney taking it off the road.

I typically try to not take it off the road for longer than 3 weeks at any one time. Careful planning and working fast helps me get the car back on the road ready to enjoy quickly. The EFI swap took about 7 weeks which was longer than normal, but it was a HUGE job.

I have to say, it is really starting to bug me that I haven't even decided on a path to repair yet, much less actually started buying parts and getting things done. This will be the longest this car has been down since I first restored the underside of it back in 2008. I said there would be no hurry as race season was basically done for me anyway, then this whole Covid-19 deal happened...but I'm ready to get it moving forward soon I hope.

I've met a local machinist that is working on some pricing for me. Soon then after I'll be making some final decision on which path to take.

Meanwhile...I'll keep working on the Jeep.

Stay safe everyone...
