Re: Hazel the older Sister....
I will let Keith fill you in on the gory details of the underhood mishap. The condensed version is a short circuit ignited the blanket that was used to keep dust off of the motor. It smoldered for a while before a small fire started. He was fortunate that happened while he was at the shop, but it was still a set back that might defeat most of us. Keith stepped away for a bit, then dug right back in. The pressure was on and time was short.
Keith said "I kept a running log of the hours I put in the last three weeks on the truck and it came to 189, I also worked full time (at my real job) two of those weeks" I will let the results of those long hours speak for themselves. His motor shows an amazing attention to detail. At first glance it appears to be a restored 327. Look a little closer and you soon discover its so much more.
