The car is pretty much built, I'm down to final details really. Here are a few pics of the progress of the car to date.

This winter Ill be polishing the blower, getting a tucked harness, and tuned. Maybe a few little parts here and there. I need to call it done and move on to the next project. This car was built to look good, and function. I drive it, I don't believe in blue tape, and I plan to keep it for a long time.

Damn! 30x48 is huge, must be a nice sized plot! Sounds like a great pick up. Long island is filled, mainly, with overpriced land and garages where you'd be happy to have a 10x20

Just under 2 arces. House is old, dates back to 1850. I just finished a new laundry room and bathroom last winter. Next is the kitchen. Once that's done the wife will be happy. But all the big stuff has been done. Roof, siding, windows, heat, ac, hot water, plumbing. Here's a shot of the garage on a busy day.

Thanks guys... The blower should be back in a few weeks. I had the intake manifold powder coated, super wet black. I also ordered a Chase Bays harness. That will prob be about it for this year. I'm trying to build a show in upstate NY. So, that's going to eat a lot of my time and money. lol Here we go again...
