    Salina is looking better this morning. This old Army engine has had the temperment of a government mule. I changed out the front carb and it seems to be running good.

    Got to see it from a distance this morning. I've been looking at it from close since January.

    I'm going to have to find some 56 chevy front bumper ends to extend the rear bumper forward to the bloomers.

    cool, so far my plan is to drive to lincoln thursday and then drive the second half friday early am. i had pm'd grouchyss to see what time friday morning the lincoln guys are heading out. figured the more the better, and with it being the first long drive in the 46 it's a little less terrifying if i break something haha.

    I've been working mostly getting the bugs out of the mechanicals. Like 6 Rochester BC's to get 2 that have leaks that are acceptable.

    I filled in the sheet metal to the bumpers, tweaking the tail light bezel fit. They are getting closer.

    I've spent the last month working on an art project to show in a gallery. Right now I'm hanging 1/4 panels on a Turds 55 Belair.Taking a break on mine and driving the bugs out of the 54. I'm loving the GMC 302. The pieces I've been working on for the art show are in this album. You coming this way soon?

    I keep tweaking around the light bezels. I think I'm happy with it now.
