Double nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!

I'm not really into skulls, but that cap is a piece of art!

Really like the cap:cool:

Thanks! Glad I kept it now!

Can't wait to see the pics of the engine in there for good...and that is definitely a cool cap! [cl[cl

Me either... can't wait to get it repainted & slammed back in. Decided to replace the steel freeze plugs while I had it out... they were startin' to leak a lil so I might as well get that outta the way while it's easy!

While I have the engine/tranny out figured I might as well do some work on the steering & cowl I wanted to do. I used a drag link I had laying around but didn't like the angles it had so I'm gonna straighten that out & weld in the Vega steering box. Also working on the cowl and the front angled part of the floors (whatever that's called) and will bend them properly with a brake. Once I get the freeze plugs & get them installed, I'll get the flooring put in, install the gas tank & steering column. Only have 3 1/2 months until Lonestar Round Up! :eek:

Mrs Tripper bought me a lil pressure washer & I tried it out this afternoon... worked pretty well. Tomorrow I'll spray the engine & tranny with degreaser then pressure wash it really well in prep for a new coat of paint! Can't wait to get the drive train back in & move on!

I love working on my car but here's one part that ain't that much fun... spraying the motor off, getting it clean & ready for paint! Finally got it done & will put in freeze plugs tomorrow... then on to other things! :D
