got the engine ready to come out today. gonna borrow my friend's hoist on sunday and pull it.


had some time on my hands and i plan on doing some more painting while the engine is out....im no pro at painting and dont have much experience. found some paper in my grandma's garage to use to mask. not pretty but it worked.

cell phone and lighting makes it look pink.

saw some guys on here paint the faded pink pos terminal cover so i decided to as well.

much better.

sorry for the cell phone pics

more to come when i do some more painting

Car looks really good, I love firebirds so much more than my camaro. I almost went with 243 heads on my build but decided to do the 5.3 heads instead. I hope to see your car in indy this spring/summer. I live a little south of there in bloomington there is all kinds of crazy stuff that goes on up there.

The rule book is called "the Linkes way" and underneath the title in smaller print it says "the only way"

How about "not a bad way to spend $10, 000"

Or "if you can't find the right tool in this garage...."
