For the first time in over 3 years, my 78 moved under its own power. I drove it from the Kapaun auto shop down to the Pulaski Shopette and back. I have to track down why its got a miss, but all that matters is that it runs well enough to get it on the boat...because the crank is crap, I have to pull the motor again anyway. |

Thanks Garry...mine's been more like 3 years 
You know Jack, if I had the problems you;vehad, I would have ditched her long ago. Francis, yes, the water neck work excellent. I still have to pull the broken bolts out of the intake. I'll bring it back to you soon. |

Can't ever give up on them, I've had my 73 Firebird since 95. I got it out of a junkyard in Barstow CA. Got close to $15,000 in it and now it has been sitting in storage since 2001 and will still be there until 2007. The motor has 5000miles on it and I fully expect it to be froze up when I get back....a 462ci (550hp) down the tubes. Can't ever give up on it just gotta keep wrenching on them. |

I know what you're saying Val. I just need to pay mine off before I start wrenching again. After the clutch, that's it. |

We all say that but we all know once the bug bites you.....you never stop. Either you sell it or keep dumping cha-ching in it those are the rules. |

In a year I'll have it paid off. Until then, it's not getting any more mods. That's all I'm saying. I should have paid it off before I even put the first mod on. That would have been the responsible thing to have done!
