I really have no clue bobadoo, but as miracles happen today I was able to get done work early (home by 7pm insted of 9) for the 2nd day in a row. after a 3-1/2 hour job with the little guy, we managed to mate the trans and the engine for the first time!


he has school and I have work but I couldnt have done it without him, little guy is tired but so excited.

Update!
Thursday the exhaust parts from summit arrived!


after the machine shop guy came over this morning to take some measurements for the fabbed low alt bracket, my son and I moved the car into position to get hoisted. We jacked her up and started removing/moving things in the engine compartment and thinking up ideas

oh, did I mention it got upto 60" today? (been in the 30's.....) garage door open! ah fresh air!

Since it was such a beautiful day out, my son played outside the entire day.... and daddy spent many hours cleaning the supercharger for painting, and then the fumes of painting.... lol - one time he is not allowed to help!
been waiting for a nice day out (60'F ish out today!) to paint the supercharger and a couple other items, paint is curing now so no sneak peaks until tomorrow!

Pulled supercharger off, marked the bolt locations.


Painting supercharger, thermastat housing, and some other misc stuff.


some pics, yes the engine dogbone bracket is broken.... thats one we're using to test sizing up of the fab low alt bracket.
also, supercharger is just sitting there unbolted down, waiting for some fasteners to "Sparkle" up the look.
