The car is now painted. Then old/new motor is in. Took her a cruise at night and wait for it.

well, that certainly is unfortunate. I'm glad to see you're still making progress though. The white looks great on the car. Hope there's no major damage from the lifter issue.

I liked it a lot, but the painter and shop owner hated the hood.
