[1] The Tinker's Toy is still alive. It has been put on the back burner, but not forgotten. Priorities change, as the holidays start, and the new batch of college classes start next month.
[2]The frame will again go vertical, and be put on rollers against the side wall, to make room for a trailer update {shocks}.
[3]Just put a $50 deposit on the $150 {1980} 350 4bbl engine. It's missing the oil pan, carb, exhaust manifilds, and oil filler tube, but was a running 2-bolt engine from a 98 Regency before it was put in the shop attic. The existing 307 is for parts and scrap value only, as it is a slug engine, and nothing close to a Rocket.
[4]And after seeing the stuff in your Tech swap areas, I may also work on getting some newer front suspension and rear axle from an Chevy Astro van. Can use the old front axle and pickup box/fenders for a utility trailer...and the torque tube is parts for a new 'smithing tool.
[5], I'm to be getting the original title for Christmas.
