Well slow and steady.
Brakes are done. I'm working on the fuel system and wiring.
I received the throttle body today.
only about 152 things left on the list
the good news is that my wallet has lost a lot of weight so I should pick up some more et.
Oh and I've been working on the GN in my spare time also

Had to sand the final coat with linseed oil on a vintage front door in the shop but I had to come back and say my buddy had a great running Maverick in high school. I loved that car and it whipped most everything else in it's class including my '74 Hornet X....[yeah, long story about what the salesman said to my dad about what Z28 meant in 1973]. I sure hope to see what the LS motor looks like in that damn skinny engine bay. I might just have to sell that 67 stepper and find me a Maverick.

LOL I'm picking up a rust free '75 white car that has been stored inside for the past 25 years from the original owner for $100. Hes'n his late 80's and wants it gone. I have several LS1 engines and trans. Just need the front sump pan and vette side mounts...."maybe" a stronger differential......
I hear there is a twin turbo LS1 Pinto in KC area but no luck finding any more info. :-(

I always liked this scene from "Top Secret" don't take it the wrong way I'm not trying to hate.
