The Back Story:
I bought a 1965 Barracuda a little over a year ago now. Since then I have been taking it to shows around the Charlotte, NC area. While attending the Good Guys show last fall 2015 I met an older gentleman by the name of Troy Robertson, the owner and operator of Old Inline Power. Troy specializes in everything inline especially chevy 235's & 261's and has been doing before it was ever "cool." He was very impressed that I was still maintaining the stock and original drive train. After a long conversation, he handed me a business card and told me to call if I ever needed some help. Well as luck would have it 2 weeks later my motor blew!

To make a long long story short:
I started working at Troy's shop in exchange for shop space, use of some of his tools and more importantly his knowledge!!

Sweet, but why is that old guy with no shirt screwin around in the background in your garage? :D
 
Haha this a very good friend of mine, in fact the owner and operator of "Old Inline Power" he specializes in 235 & 261 inline GM motors. We help one another with projects. The video was filmed during one of the hottest days of the summer down here In Charlotte, NC.
