Well, don't know if this is really considered a build up, but is still a project.
I have owned this beauty since 2000. She had 46,000 easy miles when I bought it from the 3rd owner in Dallas. With a little tlc, it was featured in Hemmings. http://www.hemmings.com/mus/stories/...feature13.html
it was that article that allowed the original owner to contact me to provide some history on the car and some GLHS-specific goodies he was preserving. Thanks Wally!
That was 2005. Since then, life happened and she sat in a garage for way too long. I was able to revive her enough to drive it to its new garage, where it will undergo a thorough cleaning and inspection. After which, will probably go up for sale for someone else to carry the torch!
So here is the progress so far...
Cyl head, vac & wire harness, radiator, engine accessories all removed. Waiting on hoist to remove block & tranny. Hoping I can wipe down the engine bay to get it shiney. Otherwise I'll have to go at it with a rattle can of gloss black.
