Agreed ! and just like you, Roger is a good dude too.Exactly 2 years ago today, I started this build. I sure do miss it but can't wait to see what Roger (the new owner) does with the car.

Update: Car is ready for the second coat of primer after the first coat and blocking plus engine compartment getting primed too. Then another round of blocking then color! I've decided to freshen up the short block since it's was torn down so far. Block will be de-greased/cleaned, honed, crank polished and new bearing and piston rings installed. Shouldn't be to much longer I anticipate getting Fred back by the end of next month and the motor in about 4 weeks.
Good choice in my book.

Damn I sure do miss Fred but I can't wait to see the newer and better Fred when you are done!
You're missed on fabo to buddy
Yeah! I hope you approve. Motors coming together just waiting on the pistons to get back from Line2line.
Engine compartment and jams painted. Panels back on and aligned. Won’t be long and it will be painted.

Love it!!! FC7 FTW!
Yup, it’s what I’ve always wanted and not to many cars look good purple! Orange was 2nd choice….Should be painted one day this week. I was going to wait until it was painted, but decided to just post some pics now, since this post has been idle.

Progress shots are great!
Status of motor! Still waiting on the pistons….Line2Line taking longer than expected. But, rod and main clearances checked, crank and cam are in. Once pistons get back can degree the cam and check piston clearance and get it back together.
Thank you!

Can't believe this is 97 pages already... BTW.. are you in SE mich? If so which machine shop did you use.. i need to take my block in when i can get someone with a truck to come by
Didn't read back (i will later when i get time) did you get a stroker kit or piece it together? I just found a block and got it stripped down.. sooo still planning a bitSend me a PM and I’ll provide you his info. He just does the machining tho not the assembly.Can't believe this is 97 pages already... BTW.. are you in SE mich?
