[TPR] Asa's Sunday update Aug 5<br>
</font> </div>
<br>
Engine is now totally assembled. Last thing to go on today
was the fuel <br>
pump, right after the Armando oil pan.<br>
<br>
Now waiting on the engine hoist to move things.<br>
<br>
Hammered out the front valance so it doesn't look so bad and
made room <br>
for the new radiator. Installed the new racing harness on
the drivers <br>
side. I believe I am all caught up, just need the engine
hoist which <br>
will be coming over later. I'll probably begin the pull
tomorrow <br>
night. Since I have some down time, I'll probably order my
tires.<br>
<br>
I'm starting to feel like this might be possible. :)<br>
<br>
