True,as long as I didn't hook up good I would send it as the kids are saying.

Discovered that a lifter wasn't rotating after 15 seconds of breaking in a newly rebuilt 383. The first pic I marked the bottom of the lifter with a sharpie, installed it and rotated the engine about 10 times to see the wear pattern.

Sorry, that is extremely frustrating.
Sadly it happens way to often

Thanks, fortunately, I caught it before there was any damage to the cam lobe.
Good, great catch.

My gas gauge isn't working, and I traced it to the gauge itself. Today I tested a couple spare gauges - looks like they're both working.

I finally, at 62 years old, got a lift in my shop (4 post). No more crawling around on my back. Better late than never! Now, to move that ceiling fan... LOL
4 post are hard to work around
Did you get the jack for it
They are nice to stuff i car under

I know they have their limitations... My concrete is no bueno for a 2 post without a **** ton of work, and i don't want to cut up my epoxied floors. I want it for extra storage as well. It's wide enough that I can park my double-wide snowmobile trailer under it with the sleds on it, or my daily driver for the winter. I don't want my Barracuda hanging on a 2 post for extended periods. I got the jack roller tray but not the jack. I'll use my air bag jack for most stuff that I need. I can always order the big jack later, if I want to.
Your place looks great
And 4 Post is better then no lift

Wow that car is awesome, better build another one since it will be easier this time lol.
I'd love to own one of those notch back barracudas someday.

Haha, Thanks! I don't know if I have another build like this one in me. It was a ****-ton of hard labor and beer. That's why I call it the Beeracuda.
The early stages, when the bodywork was done and I had most of it in orange epoxy sealer and some of the jambs painted. I tried to keep it drivable for the Summer seasons, as much as possible while I worked on it. It was a 6-7 year process.
Good for you!! We all have our own reasons for 4-post vs 2-post but I'm just happy for anyone when they finally get a lift. It'll change your life!
Lol, that's awesome.
