No kidding, John, I moved all the boxes from the storage shelves to the shop yesterday and did a quick inventory to see what I need to order up. I'm almost scared to look in the box that has all the rubber gaskets, etc. They may have turned to dust by now. Kathy surveyed the shop with a slight frown and commented that the Ford looked almost complete until all those boxes got stacked up next to it.

Welcome!
Okay, the time period around '94-'95 was not all that productive. I'd acquired a '55 Chevy 2 door post from a buddy of mine that came with a spare body. The car was running but rust was popping thru in various places. One thing led to another and the Ford got shoved aside while I started a second frame off on the '55. I was cramped for space as I also had a '57 Olds 2 dr. HT that I was trying to keep dry. I did manage a few things on the Ford, though. I pulled all the light gray parts and had them blasted back to bare metal and powder coated black. (This would not be the last time recoating these parts.) I also felt the engine had been assembled for so long and I'd never seen the inside of it, so I tore it down, inspected it all, re-lubed all the parts and then reassembled it. Still eat up with my drag racing roots, it was set up with a crankcase vacuum pump, MSD 6A and rev limiter. All gone now.
