The pics aren't hosted on the website, you have to set the size before you post them,in your case Photobucket, the easiest way to do this is in a program like Photoshop Essentials, a good size would be 400x(whatever) pixels, or a 125x600 thumbnail linked to the full sized pic.. As an alternative, you could email them to me and I can size them for you. If you, or anyone, does this be sure to tell me what it is for so I know what is going on and where the pics are going. Make sense? if not, email me.

Hey good for you! Yep, houses are an expensive entity. Makes a car look like chump change. Congratulations! Believe it or not, I hope to drive it back to the guy I bought it from in New Mexico and give the guy a good beating. (Sarcastic) We've been fighting his bad work since day one! That should take me right through the center of Arizona. A slight detour through Glendale may be in order. Actually believe it or not, we went right by you on our way home from picking up our Chevy. There was a huge snow storm that closed down the highway in between Flagstaff and Kingman. We had to take a detour on a small country road through the snow down the Phoenix to get around it! Sorry, didn't quite understand your last post. Did you mean your car's at paint? If so, congratz! Best of luck! Pete

Well updates are slow but i'm reallytrying to get back at it
For today i got the trans switched over the the mid shift location so it won't hit my seat now also got a plate welded over the top of a stock manifold so i can break my engine in using a carburator instead of my fuelinjection setup
Definately more safe that way

All progress goes in the + column. I've been trying to fix broken and worn out stuff from the - column and get them into the = column. That is not really progress, it's treading water. So for some part of every day I put on my water wings and flippers and head to the shop.

getting very close in the engine now just got my clutch fly wheel and waiting on my harmonic balancer from tom i can nearly taste the exhaust fumes in my mouth been really busy every day trying to track down all of the little parts needed and its kicking my... butt crank is drilled and the flange is now 1/2 in x 20 and the dowel was drilled for 1/2 in dowel pin
ended up with a hays flywheel and a hays clutch kit to match i am using a bronze pilot bushing and waiting on some arp flywheel bolts
no need to lose toes:)
been doing a lot of reading on getting the tranny straight and indexed so i should be good there
it is a tremec 2600708 5 speed 3550 tko
got the drive line all together and some more metal cut from the floor and a mock up is the new shifter tower noting like petes but it will do!
thanks happy in-lining

Well GOT the engine fired up and brike the csm jnyesterdsy most wiring is temporary as I need to oull it ut one last time to finish all the transmission bull! For now I will save my pennies so I can buy the turbo and accessories and some shifters and get my drive line shortened but when I grt near a comouter I will post oictures and try my luck at a video.. Also to note ran a singke barrel carb engine was extremely responsive just didn't have enough air flow so i sprinkled the radiator with a hose every somoften and it stsyed right around 190 next move I guess is try the fuel injection by professiinal products the powerjection 3 see how that works to kill time while I ssve cash monies (american)

Looking good Josh. Sure would like to hear it.
It is always a fun time when getting a project engine running for the first time.
