Knee is way better , ended up destroying all cartilage/ miniscus and was full of arthrists, all cleaned up , no more getting fluid drained

This is not my garage I'm way more orginized , fitting the back of the left quarter was a nitemare

Damn that's a lot of work. Sorry about the knee. Good to see you're still alive.

Picked up these heads for when I build the engine, already has arp studs and comp cam springs locks etc. Not sure about valves till I pull one $250 for the pair and should save me 1k when I do the engine build

Man, those are some huge valves. What do they measure? Remind me of the old chevy double-hump heads (202).


Bodies coming along nicely, nice gaps on the door.

So guess I will update this, cars not done no work on it for almost 3 weeks, he has decided that the price we agreed to and that i have paid him in full is not enough and wants more money or I take the car, and his idea of what amount of work we agreed to keeps changing along with being nasty and boligerant .


cars in same condition as last pic above and quarters are still not welded on so car is unsafe to move since there is no structure in the back

At this point I have consulted and attorney and will be retaining him to shut this guy down before someone else gets screwed to

I am also refusing to remove the car from his unlicensed body shop in a residential neighborhood
