Stuart, Great pics.
Seeing your engine go in reminds me. I haven't been driving my 69 runner lately due to the back right header bolt leaking coolant. This is the fresh 383 that I installed this summer. Any idea what the best solution to getting the leak to stop. I've tried the aero gasket sealant that's always worked in the past. I would have loved to have driven the car this last week when the temps were in the 70's. It's such a pain draining the coolant out and pulling that bolt, even on the lift and I don't want to do it over and over. Do they make a high temp teflon tape or something?
Just thought I would ask while I was thinking about it.


not sure ,  but if i ever save up some money this baby will be on it's way to arkansas  :2thumbs: Buying the charger 500 stole all the resto money for the daytona clone

This week, it's been in the low 60's and 50's. Too cold to play outside so I have to spend the day building hotrods. Too bad they're not my hotrods. My hotrods just sit there waiting on me to find time for them.  ;D
At least the runner that I've been building is starting to look like a car again.

Brother-in-law. It's going to ba an A12 clone. 440 six barrel, 4-speed, leather buckets, magnum 500 rims, cutout style exhaust, modern A/C,
and he wants the car painted black. Gotta work on changing that part of the plan. After painting the daytona clone black, I really don't want to do another black car right away.  ;D
