Things are starting ro run into each other . Got the engine block and head back from machine shop , waiting on the crank . pieces in waiting . Running out of room in the Shop ! Adding to the mess I've got the body in where I applied the 1st coat of Lizard skin sound control to be followed up with heat insulator . Hardest part just prepping taping and such . Initial impressions are positive . Definitly has deaden the sound of the tub .

The crankshaft will have to be turned , have to see how the bore cleans up . I bought this car from a good friend that had brought the car from Arizona . This has been a bit of a blessing for lack of rust ...
