I know the feeling Joe! I've been selling stuff like crazy to fund the new project. We're having a big sale Friday and Sat. here to get rid of junk and the wife says I can have the funds for more car parts!

 

Sweet tell your wife she's a good woman, im doing the same to keep up with my projects. You end up getting a motor and tranny for that beast yet?

 

Had my sale. Now I'm parting out the 78. I need to scrounge up 60 bucks for a set of gauges I have my eye on.

 

thats what happens when you have too nice of a car

 

No motor yet Joe. Still doing suspension work and sheetmetal. Spent the day today helping my neigbor on his Austin. I'd like to see his running first so we can concentrate our efforts on mine then!
How's this for a smallblock in a tiny car?

 

Is there such a thing as too nice a car?

 

Wow she looks cramped in there lol, must be pretty hard to get around in there?

 

Nah you just lay on your back and you can work on both sides at the same time.

 

It's actually pretty close, but the fenderwell headers allow easier access to the spark plugs. You can reach right through above the front tires to change them. With a straight axle the underside has tons of work room too. Looking at his made me decide to go tilt frontend on mine after seeing how close things were. I've got even less room on mine, so I figured a tilt would help.
