Yes indeed! Other than a few little annoyances to work out, the Chevy lives....and lives mighty well. Lillie is sooo very happy with the truck and spent the better part of a week every night redoing the interior..Looks good Hon!

Sorry for taking so long on an update...been real busy here lately trying to get everything together on all the projects.  Well, after about a month of delays, the engine block for the 280zx finally came home cleaned and with new cam bearings.  Ryan went about honing the cylinders, and clearancing the cam boss for the double roller timing chain.  After that was done it was given a final cleaning

Well, the 350 I'm building for the Z got dropped off at the machine shop today.  It's getting cleaned, cam bearings installed, line bored, and new freeze plugs put in.  The crank is also getting turned because of some spun bearings..ouch!  Anyway, hopefully this will take care of the block and crank and it'll be ready to reassemble in the next week or two.  I've already got the aluminum heads,

Since my job entails me sitting on a computer all day, I generally have alot of time on my hands.  This idle condition leads me to browse alot of forums, usually of the automotive persuassion.  One of the sites that I frequent is http://www.japonesenostaliccar.com/.  Alot of informative and interesting people on there..and alot of unique cars you just don't see anymore.  Anyway, one of the guys

I've got a couple project cars going on right now which I plan on updating regularly on here.  Lil's 74 Chevy C10 pickup, my 81 Datsun 280ZX, and my 92 Toyota Celica GT.  I have a different goal in mind for each one so they each entail a varying degree of attention at times.  The Chevy, aka Project: Demon, has a Vortec 5.3 LM7 installed in it and is already running for the most part.  It's

Well..last night I decided I needed to get the wheels off the parts Z out back for Mark when I got home from work. Me being me, I decided this would best be accomplished by using a 30 year old scissor jack and a 3/8 drive ratchet. Of course..not all went to plan (surprise, surprise). The car has been sitting in my back 40 for the last two years in the mud with two flat tires, so as you may have

Well...here goes nothing!  First post on what I hope becomes a regular stopping point for you on your daily travels on the net.  Guess I'll give you  a little history on myself and how I came to where I am today. First things first...my name is Ed, sometimes Eddie depending on what point in my life you became aquainted with me.  I went by Eddie at first, and as the years went by it slowly
