Nice work. I really dislike spiders, so when something new appears in my driveway that has been stored for a while; I will toss a cover over it and bug bomb it inside and out.

Smart - finding their nests new or old is never pleasant. In my mind I spent almost as much time making sure the critters were removed as I spent on the floor and lower cowl!!
UPDATE: Unfortunately, as I was driving home tonight it threw a rod. Ah well, I've got into every other bolt on her so far why not these. Good excuse to peek in the SM420 while I'm in it, I have a feeling it needs synchros.
However, I have to get my other OT project back on its frame to free up the shop and I'll have to get that ready over the winter. Probably won't actually get that back on the frame until the spring and then I can look at getting this 235 long block replaced. Such is life.
