I haven’t had much chance to get into the garage in the last few weeks, but I managed a few hours yesterday and today. Yesterday i changed the lighting in the garage over to double tubes, and swapped my new compressor for a bigger one capable of running air tools. Today I bolted up the original green 350 that I bought for the Dooster to a pallette ready to ship it. Have I done the sensible thing and sold it to help my finances? Umm. No. I’ve swapped it for a 400ci small block.

Here’s what the 350 looked like a llloooooonnnngg time ago. June 2002. It’s a little more battered after being put in the Dooster, moved round two garages and generally covered in muck. There should be a load of bits arriving this week, as well as the 400, so i’m going to take some time off and spend some of it on the car.
