    Well some of you know that I am not getting the house that I had talked about so much:mad: But I figured now that I am not going to be working on that all winter I could go ahead as planned on the Maverick.

    Got the 302 out of the 75 this morning and going to get it ready to go down into the 72 I can't wait.:clap:

    This 302 is not going to get much done to it, I have another block that I am going to someday build up and put alittle power to that I am going to end up running in the Black car. I am going to dress it up a bit as long as Santa stops this year :D (hope I was good enough)

    And for the 75, that is my wifes car, that will be my next project once I get my car done, It is going to get the mustang II front end and a 351W, not really sure what else it is goig to get she hasn't made up her mind (imagine that :D) opps, better watch it or Santa won't show up this year :D:D

    Hey Neal, come here, I want to talk to you in private. Now that nobody's listening, I have to tell ya that you cant have your wife's car faster than yours. Its too embarrassing. OK, I'm done.

    Hey Dennis that is what everyone seems to say but here is how I look at it. I will get to Drive it too. My car was built but my father and I, and I don't really want to get to wild with it. It was built long before I even knew anyone else shared the same joys in these cars as I do. He car is going to be a heavily modified car and might take awhile to do but it will be worth it when it is done. The fun part is she likes to work on cars too so we will build it together. That means alot, I won't be hearing anything like why you out in the garage all the time you could be in here with me :D:D

    I tried that once with 500 degree engine clear and it yellowed. I saw the other dat that VHT makes a clear also maybe theres will work better than the one I got from Autozone. I have had good luck with other vht products so maybe there clear is better?
