Jeeze yesterday the car, motor, parts were at your house in pieces. Today the engine is painted, installed, and running at his shop. Kinda feel like it's a reality car TV show "timeline" ....
Marty,
I actually reread the past 10 pages of your post.
I was a little lost how you were doing everything and then it’s all loaded up and someone else is finishing up the car.
I assume the slow progress and the huge setback of engine and tranny were devastating.
Glad to see you haven’t given up on the car and will be driving it soon again.
BTW when I say slow progress don’t take offense because it’s been 13 years since I have driven mine.
I hope you enjoy driving it again, you are lucky to have a friend like Marty and I cannot wait until I can drive mine as well.
