I think tomorrow afternoon Dave going to paint it.
I have most of the other parts done at my shop.
Got a new 283 in my shop in pieces.
I got the engine that ran 11.02 (-83) this spring on the engine stand.
I will give everybody a look at what makes my car run.
Stay tuned in! Charlie

If it ran 11.02 on the engine stand, imagine how fast it can run in an actual car. Sorry, couldn't resist that one...

I left daves shop. I had the car ready for paint. I think he going to stay up all night painting.
