Back from the dead!

Post by beagle »

Picked up the '64 today-- Sinc's old ride-- about 3 years after the cam failure in the 289 that was in her and lots of towing, pushing, swapping, and storing, she's finally back in the drive way with a freshly rebuilt 302 from that block I got from Jason (jwh f-100). Lots on the "to do" list still, but putting the door handles back on is not one of them...

Now your cookin' Rich. Good to see the old girl running again.

Thanks Tim! Going to try and get her to the Fall get together at Marty's on the 8th... longest trip yet with rebuilt 302--we'll see how she does. Hope I don't have to rely on the MAC Emergency Slick Road Crew to help out at any point...
