I bet you thought.....
....that I've been napping and not making any progress on my 27. Ok, I HAVE been napping alot, but in between I have made some progress on it.Today the last pieces for my clutch setup came in so tonight Dan gave me a hand and we got it installed and the transmission bolted up. Once that was done we of course had to put the engine down into the frame for hopefully the final time.
I pulled the car off the road 10 years ago to freshen it up a little and life got in the way and I even built another car, my 23, in between. But I've always liked the 27 and have a lot of great memories in it, so I'm really excited to get it back on the road again. I'm shooting for Billetproof in February, but if that doesn't happen I really want to have it running for the Billetproof Drags in October of next year.
So, here is how it ended up tonight. Next step is to run some brake lines, put new ujoints into the driveshaft, and a few other things so I can fire it up for the first time.
