Impressive! Maybe I will get mine going this Spring? Nice Sunroof, maybe a chance for a flat piece of green plastic?

Looks good to me and if it goes back and forth along with stopping, it's about time to get some plates on it and go for a drive.

Then "spring" in the Northeast - my morning's wake up call today:

Yep.. If it was any other year, I'd not like more snow early march. Except I work for a ski slope, so snow is welcome this time. Given without snowmaking, the mountian couldn't have even opened..

But I had to blow the stuff around this morning before I could get to waking my '51 Chevy back up. Putting points and a condensor in it now, just warming up. ATM

It's a great sense of accomplishment and pride when it becomes "Alive". Sounds healthy!

What Cam?

Sounds good. Can you tell us what the cam is?

I dont have the cam specs, only that it is a Crane cam. I bought the engine/trans from a local guy whose dad had built it before he died. I pulled the heads (Dart heads) and everything looked clean so I had no need for further tare down. But I was told its a 383 stroker motor that was built by a speed shop in Memphis. Has a nice lope to it. Cant wait to spin the wheels!
