Finally, Got over to my friends house and we assembled my short block. Felt really good to see that fresh chevy orange go on it! Heads are next. Got new springs, getting the seats done and re-assembed. Maybe in a year or so it'll be back on the street! (Rest of car is down to the shell right now) Seems like progess is really slow, but trying to "get it right" the first time! LOL I'll share pics if anybody is interested.

Love to see them.

Project cars are like that when you're down to a bare shell. Stuff seems like it's going real slow until you've done all the "bench assembly" side-projects and it's time to start to put it all together. Then you start seeing real progress relatively quickly.

My cars usually go together and are "drivable" in only a few months, followed by about 2 years of "shaking the bugs out" and nailing down the details.
