Got a little more done. Now at a stand still due to a move at the end of the month.
Made a little more progress today. Mocked up axle location, until it got too hot to work in the garage.
I acquired a 1965 396 that is currently at the machine shop. I was sad to see the Olds go, but it went to a good home.
I haven’t, I’m actually selling the engine to a gentleman who is building a 1955 Olds custom.
A little progress is better than no progress.
