What a wonderful day in the shop... Hanging out playing with stuff...
Cleaning up the Rust.... Getting the Motor Parts ready to go back
together... ( Back up Motor got Bored this week for it's new Wiseco Pistons
and the Crower Billet steel Rods also Gained a couple of Inches due to some
over Heating at Bville )

Getting Rid of those Dag gum Screws I installed on the Moon Disc's.... (now
there was an exercise..) Installed Duez fasteners... Neat deal once you
figure out how to Make the Jig.... ( reminded me of Hot Rodding )..

Tomarrow I swap back over To the Maxton Gear and check out all the brake
system.... and Lube everything that I cleaned off washing it...

All and All A nice Spring Day.... WOW I been waiting for one of these...

Keith ( yeah I am doing the Last Minute Motor rebuild cause I was to lazy to
take the headers off and do the compression check at the end of the season )
