It wasn't too bad but I ran out of light after three of four wheels were dug out.

The other three corners are in amazing shape for a 3/4 race car l o l .. Man I love that car.. It kicks.ass!


Meanwhile...

The cylinder head must have cracked worse and has now rendered the car undriveable.

Guess I can block it in with the Blazer..:(
Already asked my tow truck buddy to stop by.

It actually needs cylinder heads. :confused:
And a battery.
BUT!
There isn't a huge puddle of fluid underneath it- that's a positive, speaking of jolt.

I had a neighbor with a beautiful V6 RS. Really a great looking white car.
This car used to be white../smh.

last Posting about it in late October, early November- two thousand NINETEEN!
Been sittin in the garage FOUR YEARS?! ALMOST TO THE DAY?

It appears my life's three year cycles have moved to four years...in other instances besides this one. Effing remarkable.
How bout that , really?
I can only manage not to wreck a Blazer for that long so i reckon at least Helen oughta be safe.
Don't wanna wreck any more Blazers.
The blue Jimmy's owner insists on letting it rot and I know its been on 4 flats for at least five years..when it first got spied on.

Helen worked all winter one year and must like driving in the cold. Remember replacing the heater core?brrr.
2.77 posi is my friend!

I've got #803 heads and #113 heads built and ready to go. Thinkin I'll install the #803s since I'm always talkin smack about them and they're WAAAAY harder to find. I could save on the #113s for the proper engine rebuild...dunno. we'll see what Gary thinks / mebbe he has a good ideas.. If the short block is in good enough shape then why not run em?
Got the new battery already but I'm in pause for work meow.

Driving around a patrol car everyday leaves me wanting....to throw birds out the window LOL. :(
