What is that on the floor with the handle hole in it? Is that like a big knee pad? I could use one of those!

@RustyRatRod
If y'all have a big fabric store close by, that cuts and sells foam....go look around in there. I went in one here with my wife, and wandered off so I could quit making up opinions about this or that pattern.....and found some foam pads a lot like those in the pic. They're about 2' wide, and at least 3' long. Plenty big enough for my lard butt to lay on in the floor to work. They were about $5 each if I remember right. They are slick, closed cell foam, and easy to wipe off.
 
1. Spare engines built and sold.
2. Imperial bodywork and paint fine and car sold.
3. Engine for my ‘65 assembled.
4. Headers for my ‘65 built.
5. Start resto on my Chevelle (flip).

ive already got three customer engines to do in and around those so we’ll see. GF wants the house renovations done too. How many days in 2021 again?
 
I was just going to change the intake and carb, but then I did a compression test and found a low cylinder, so the heads are coming off. Well if I have it torn down that far I might as well change the cam.......
