Welcome to Winnipeg !! Sorry I missed you last night.
Roads are little rough this year... been a tough spring !

Looks like there is still a lot of dirt, gravel? on the ground Grahame

Yup...there is still a bit of sand on the streets here Frank.

I know as I have hammered it a couple times now where I've seen clouds of dust being blown off the road behind me. Also to note, those skinny tires are skating around underneath me as the back end has been dancing on more than one occasion. That surely kicks up some spring time dust and gravel along the sides of the road so I am sure. All that being said, I did build it to be driven...and driving it I am. :biggthumpup:

Life is short...gotta get out and own some!

Been a month but finally got out for another cruise last night. Burned off a full tank of high test...fun night for sure.

Summer is drawing to a close and the freshly built DZ302 motor is fully assembled and ready to go into the car now. I'll be dialing the car back to factory appearance and setting it up to be 100% stock. Once it's finished up with the factory drive line, it'll likely go to Mecum early in the new year. Until then...it's back to work as I get it ready.

The motor and the M21 transmission are both going into the car as soon as I can get my shop arranged to a satisfactory point. First thing is to find a new lift. (lol)

I hate to see it go back to stock configuration but totally understand that it will bring more at auction that way. This car will do very well at auction Graeme - great build/restoration!

Booooo! Sorry to hear that.

Do the air bags just unbolt?

The vintage airbags are already gone Tony.

Sold them to another member here for use on his Copo. All of the day 2 stuff can obviously be taken off, but not sure just how far I want to go with that at this point. The 302 and the M-21 will definitely go into the car, just unclear about exhaust and other things like the old Lakewoods on the back.

I mean, the car still deserves some character, but unsure where I will ultimately draw that line. Obviously, the more I put into it with things like smog and concourse exhaust, the more that ultimately needs to come back out of it at some point. I know it's not getting chambered exhaust. I really dislike the sound of that option. Especially with a good cam. (LOL)

Are you going with a basically stock spec cam Grahame? I really liked the beauty you had in the first motor

Please don't remove the headers, scatter shield, wheels and traction bars. That makes it look so cool.
