Re: What did you get done? XLI edition

Got the 74 inspected & worked on relocating the front shocks for my 68 Beater (I was going to purchase some aftermarket shock relocator brackets, but I had some scrap steel & figured why wait).

Pass side is complete & drivers side just needs to be finish welded. Next up..... drop the SBC back in for keeps. This 6 to 8 swap (which included a swap to front air-ride & a notched crossmember) has taken entirely too long.

Oh BTW.... last week I mentioned a little cut to the thumb while making these brackets. It turns out that I managed to cut my tendon in half. 3 stitches in the tendon & 7 on the skin + I get to wear a brace/splint designed to keep my thumb immobile for 6wks.

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.
