    We got the engine bay painted last night, and I'm definitely happy with the way it turned out, now to start putting it back together without scratching anything.

    Like i stated prior, awful at updates, but I've been making a ton of progress on this thing, getting it ready for paint here pretty soon. I still need to do some trimming on the panels and final placement. This was my first time welding and doing body work on my own so it's definitely not...

    Got some other parts in for the bay, I opted for the Scott Rod rivet panels, tossed them in to just get an idea of how much trimming I'm going to need to do, I had to clean up some slight surface rust forming on the rails and got a little wild with the rust paint. I'm hoping to spend some time...

    Couple updates, the original 302 was degreased, replaced some stuff, got to do the rear main seal and a couple loose ends and then I can focus on the engine bay.

    After some long consideration I decided to hold off on the 347 for now, I like the idea of going with a Dart block or putting it in the 66' but for now I will just set it over to the side for another day.

    yikes, I don't really have the means right now to move to a Dart block, the more I think about it it makes me nervous about dropping the 347 in with the Turbo and whether or not it will hold up. My intentions were to just clean this motor up put it back together (first time doing a motor) and...
