Hey guys! Sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything. Life has been really crazy. My wife and I both quit our jobs at the dealership at the end of the year in 2018. We decided to open our own shop. We decided to use the shop we had built here at the house. We were rolling along, had some struggles, but hanging in there. But then back in January of this year I ended up in the hospital with really bad stomach pain. Turned out that I was diagnosed with colon cancer. So this year was especially tough. I am doing much better now though. With everything though I had to get rid of my daily driver. But that prompted me to get my 71 together. The big update is that the engine I built is no longer going in the truck. My wife found me a 2nd gen Camaro for really cheap and I plan to put the engine in that along with a Muncie 4-speed that I have acquired. That project is on the back burner for now though. I wanted to put an engine in the truck that would be ideal for pulling my trailer for my business. I found a guy with a big block 396 he was wanting to sell. I bought this engine for $300! It is pretty much stock and later down the road I will do some upgrades but for now it'll do the job.
