Thank you all for the welcome. Seems like it is hardly almost 5 years gone by and my project is done. I have to say I have really enjoyed the restoration, I have done other chevies but this one was different because I had more time now than money so I did everything, with exception of grinding the hydraulic cam back to solid specs. Now, I look forward to loving and maintaining her. I guess we kind of bonded through the process of all the frame cleaning and knuckle busting. This forum has been a wonderful source of people and information. I really enjoy getting online and loosing an hour or so a day reading. Steve
