Nice day here... time to get some more welding done (after work) almost done with rust repair, just fixing spots in the engine bay now.... Just ordered my dist drive gear/shaft :( tired of spending money.
I'm visiting machine shops next week. Contacted 7... had 1 immediately answer the phone (surprised me) and another respond to my email later in the evening. They're actually about a mile apart from one another. I'm both dreading the price tag and looking forward to getting this thing moving again. If they are 6-8 weeks out on work, that'll get me on a schedule to have the engine bay cleaned up... wiring harness and radiator set and the V8 PUSHBUTTON 904 :D rebuilt and ready... probably do a rebuild on the steering gear as well
