    Yep, he'd never put the IFS together, and the chassis is bare now so every bolt & nut is mine to do. I swapped the tranny for a 700R4 so he never saw that, and I changed gears in the rear and assembled the rear brakes myself. The only thing left is that he could have dropped something down the intake so I'll least pull the plugs and blow compressed air in each one....

    In his defense, he'd go to a Goodguys or NSRA show with his pal, the guy who was helping him build his car, and they'd walk around the vendor area with him drooling, and buying stuff - different styles of 3/8" tube clips (different shows?), 3 different packs of header bolts, 2 styles of strapping to put between body and frame, chrome alternator, chrome fuel pump (when he already had an Edelbrock HP), and dress up stuff. Once home he would be itching to see how things looked, knowing his pal would help fix anything he did later so he'd cut open a package and play...... but then the pal moved away.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
