September and October weekends were spent getting the engine ready to run. On November 7th we started it and broke in the cam. November 9th she drove out of the shop under her own power for the first time since 2010… and I actually had a seat to sit in instead of a milk crate!

Well hello again b-body members. I can’t believe it’s been since 2013 since the last post! Well life happened and I had to shut down the project but I’m happy to report I’m back in the game and have begun getting the car put back together. I’ll be posting pictures soon as progress is made...
