Default I'm On Vacation

I'm On Vacation.
I'm On Vacation.

Did I mention...... I'm On Vacation?

So what kind of trouble can I get in to for the next 12 days?

My plans are: See if I can get my very first car running again?
Drop in 327. Headers.
Install 4-speed.
Re-hang the rear end and leaf springs.

I still need to clean/paint a gas tank. I can use to existing steel lines for the gas at the moment. Just take my air gun and blow any debris out.

'68 327. original '57 Chevy 2x4 set up.

Saginaw 4-speed & shifter. (I was told the trans is from a '64 Vette when I bought it)

Rear housing painted.

New rear tires. 245/60/14s on 14x8 S/S Cragars. Fronts are 215/70/14s on a 14x7 S/S wheel.

I envy your vacation... I had to go to my mother-in-law's wedding to give her away. When I go back to Ohio, I want to play with your toys...

Isn't it funny ? That you work harder on vacation then you do at work ! I know I do. I used to work 10 to 12 hrs daily 7 days a week. Then when I retired. I said how in the hell did I ever have time to do all this ? LMAO
