Feeling Neglectful...

[Shaffer4]

Hard to believe that my baby has been off the road for five years... I feel rotten leaving her set for so long, especially considering how little really needs done to get her back running.

The stock '74 454 had a little bearing breakdown and we but around $4000 to get her heart pumping again, but things sorta stalled out in mid transplant...



My father took the engine wiring harness hostage in order to rebuild it... which one has yet to see done...



Interesting item the engine builder loaned us to try out when it got up and running... 900cfm 3-barrel probably a bit excessive, but cool none the less...



Still have yet to install and route the Full Cell, lines, and electric pump... was going to run Braided the whole rout, but from what I've read on here, I will probably run a good length of it in stainless line... I also what to replace the bed floor in either steel or aluminum plate and build a box for the fuel cell; I want it secure.



Also got a touch of floor rot to remedy, I've bartered with a welding talented cousin to take care of that.



As consolation for my year of neglect I have a bed full of nearly flawless (free!) body panels to replace her cancerous and dinged sections... so she shouldn't hold my procrastination against me too much... ... I hope...
