The engine got its needed restoration (06-07) and again in (07-08)! Rings, new valves and seals, bearings, camshaft, oil pump (gaskets of course), reground crankshaft. The block was acid washed, the head reground. Saginaw (GM) steering upgrades were done and a plastic gas tank was added. An additional rear roll bar and extended bikini top was added in 2008 as was a new Weber carburetor. A HEI distributor may be on by spring 2009. Lots of $$$ so far. Future upgrades, a rear tonneau cover to protect the interior from mud and dirt as well as restoring the original hardtop and doors.
