    everyone i am sure has horror stories. we just learn from them then decide which path to choose. I chose to live and learn. you can never forget but you can be determined to not repeat.

    Barb,thats a kool story,and I feel you have conquered more than most people,and to do what you have with your engine swap is even kooler,,My wife is a car girl,and her father taught her to change her own oil,tires,etc.
    As she says,"What doesnt kill you,makes you stronger''..
    Keep it up,you are an inspiration to many..

    Great story Barb. Keep us posted on the start up. The guys here helped me wth my original 429, with similar issues when I bought it. That experience was so positive I decided to stick around, glad you have too!

    Me too, Barb. Whenever I scan the current threads to see what's going on, I'm always happy to see something from you there.

    Sounds like your Mom was quite a lady and passed a lot of very good values and internal strength along to you. Thanks for sharing your story with us. That is what makes this forum so great, real flesh and blood people who come across as more than just someone sitting behind a keyboard.
