friends ..... and their mechanical skills

[OriginalOwner]

It's a happy day when your most-favorite trusted mechanic calls and says,  "by the way, you save $5 on today's oil change because I won't be charging you my normal 'old oil' recycling fee.  Your car is ready to go whenever you are."

You know your high-performance hopes, dreams, and desires will finally be realized because your trusted mechanic just called,  "Hey, that part you wanted ??  O'Reilly's has it, and I'm now negotiating price and delivery.  Won't be long now."

when your favorite mechanic downsizes his shop and no longer wants to do oil changes for you, and wants to make the task easier for you to accomplish .......

On a good note, my 25yo Son is turning out to be a hell of a fabricator.

The floor pans started out as flat sheet stock metal.

"Sir, we saved you some money on those pesky axle boots last month.  Back so soon?  What's the problem this time?"

Nice try- the firing order is cast right into the engine case just below the generator stand.  The car will run with the dizzy 180 degrees out if the distributor gear was inserted backwards into the case.
