Re: What did you get done?

Sat am I went 'yarding' looking for some parts. Nothing scored, but it was fun to get out & look around on a beautiful morning.

On my way home, I stopped by the shop & cleaned up what's left of the old timing tab after cutting most of it off to clear the now SWP set-up on the little 350 rebuild for my Beater. A couple coats of fresh paint & it looks pretty decent. While I was there, I also blasted the master cyl/booster brackets & they got the same color treatment.

I did some more planning & organization on the re-assembly of the Beater & prepped the front frame stub for some chassis black before everything gets put back together. It gets pressure washed sometime this week.

Today I helped a buddy swap some wheels around on several vehicles & then drag an elcamino home to his shop. It hadn't been started in who knows how long but after some juice & a battery, it started right up.
Small block Chevys..... you gotta' love their resilience.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
