Thank God That 20 Minutes Is OVER. It started for me as a shell from Mike Dodgen. (Needed to replace my driver) She is Adriatic Blue has SC flairs and flag mirrors, five lug, thanks Mike. I built the 2056 w/ 9.5 compression, web 107I cam, ported and matched, balanced pistons, shaved the flywheel. She has rebuilt calapuas all around with a new master cylinder and all new lines (brake[SS], vacuum and fuel). Speaking of stainless, SSI exchangers. Oh! Blue marine canvas on the targa top.
I guess its time to start sorting it out.
Wish me luck.
Thanks
Joe

Yeah Joe, I wanna see pictures too! If you want, drive it over here and I can take some for you and check it out in person. You really want to drive it anyway, why not come by here, Its only ten minutes away.

Thanks Scott: I'm an old school tuner, so I put in cold plugs (NGK B8ES) hoping to foul a plug insteade of burning up something in the engin. After my start up and a coulel of laps around the block and ideling in the driveway I though that the plugs should be at least tan. Not, still white, to lean to drive. Havent checked the timing yet. I'll come by as soon as it is driveable.
Thanks
Joe

No worries Joe, I am out in my garage working on my beast today. Its been a few months since I have done anything on it and thought it was about time I did something to it. I am anxious to drive it and since it isnt building itself I guess I need to do some work on it. Anytime you want to bring it by we can take some pictures of it. I would like to see it anyway. Who knows, maybe I will have mine done it a few weeks and we can go cruise PCH.
