That's going to be a pile of fun now.
I assume you're going to have the new stuff in there over the winter months? Oh yeah...that's mostly a bunch of rain for you guys on the coast right?

Was hoping you had the new motor ready to go in? I'm dying to hear the new one running in there.

Hello Jim. Knowing you have all that (retirement) time on your hands now, I was looking in to see if there's an update on your 68.
How are things progressing my friend?

L35 Has broken Rocker and Down Low Knock; Bagged and Put into Laid up for future repairs.
The L78 is in Mid Build at Cope Machine In Tacoma Wa. They are checking Piston to Valve clearances and ordering additional parts then Off to Dyno for Cam break-in and Tuning. I expect to take delivery in July. In the mean time I have been working on a Friends 1966 GTO (Fred) & We took the 69 Pace car to the Shelton Ridge Raceway for the West Coast Trans Am race and got to Do 6 Parade Laps at lunch time.

That's awesome. I'll bet that was fun to do those laps in the pace car.
You guys are lucky to have that and other race tracks right n your backyard like that.
