Dartin for Divorce

DD, to help your immediate and future standing with the family I suggest you draw a line in the sand for where you will stop, one of the hardest things I have done, and easier said than done, if you look at the threads in members restorations there are builds that have gone on for years, not everything needs to be NOW (Like I said, easier said than done.

By the way, my line is transmission, it would be easy to order up a nice new transmission but Im gonna wait, also gonna wait on some of the interior updates and tweaks.

Hows the wifey like the rabbit hole?

Wife? I have a wife?! Lol. She wants the car to be put back together, but a lot of times my daughter is outside in the garage with me so that helps her. Plus I've been doing A Lot of cooking and cleaning which helps her as well.

Also lucky for me having Tony's help its pointed me in the straight direction.. except hes the one who said to clean and paint it up... since I'm waiting on the cam it's not to big of a deal to clean everything up a little.

My line is the paint... not going any further. Going to clean, paint. Unless I'm told or "advised" to do something else. I will install parts I already have (except for different camshaft and valve covers) put it back together and have some fun. Tony says we should be done by Monday... I'm going to try and get all the springs pulled off tonight, valves cleaned, finish cleaning the pistons, new timing cover (correct 68 340 timing cover with timing marks on passenger side), and everything painted in the morning.

That's a great picture!
What's a cam bearing???? Since I don't know what it is I'm not doing it!

Just kidding. Mine look good and no I'm not replacing them.
