The Official "How Not To" Thread

Exactly what I did I blew up my slant six in 2004 and instead of just replacing it and being done I decided I'd "restore" it. Well 16 years later I'm finally starting to get it back together with tons of pieces missing and damaged from storage and not to mention I cant remember where most of it went Haha. The bags the bolts are in are deterated and falling apart the bolts are all mixed up the sharpie I wrote on the bags is long gone i have no idea where have of them go lol
At least I have a LOT of photos, ziploc bags with labels, and lots of shop manuals, parts manuals, and FABO to help get it all put back together. My only question will be my physical ability to finish it before my kids take my driver's license away from me. I'm going on 71, and I'm in good health, still strong, but at this age you never know.
