Houston, we got more progress! Yes, it is slow but progress none-the-less! If I get my '78 TA sold soon then progress will be MUCH more rapid! What's Ted's record for a restoration again? :aok

Getting the final color on the W-31s engine. Pay not attention to the timing cover, water pump and intake. They will all be swapped out soon.

And the Cutlass as it currently sits... :sick No worries, it looks a lot better with the cover off! :aok Plus she is coming in the garage real soon!

My gorgeous fiancée and helper!!!

Yea…this is gonna change…haha

And well, I said it would change…it did!

For being a six cylinder, GM made sure that biotch takes up a TON of space!!!

After I muscled that out of there I got my helper to power wash...she did a great job!

On to the pics!!!!

Plans for this week and to blow apart the suspension...finish cleaning the undercarriage and start getting the "real" suspension underneith it. Hopefully be on the track by the end of June!

More updates to come!

I gotta milk this for as long as I can! She loves doing this.........for now.

I'm sure at some point she will begin to dislike it, but the only way she will keep doing the "dirty work" with me is if she gets some seat time. :drive :drive :drive
