Default uh oh!

hey folks! been forever, life has a way of doing that. lots changing in my world, but all for the good......

quick update on the blown gto, had a pretty devastating mishap: the car was in storage while i remodeled my garage/shop, and the hot water heater malfunctioned, blowing steam on my car for two weeks straight, cooking the living crap out of it. needless to say, every fastener, brake line, even the chrome, took a heavy hit, and is rusted. the aluminum looks like it was on the bottom of the ocean! totally pitted and oxidized.

so, the 're' restoration has begun, i tore the engine down yesterday to fix the pesky rear main leak AGAIN, (graphite rope this time) bunches of parts are on order, and we will get her back up and looking pretty again soon.

thanks for the years of help on here people, what a great community we have here......

here is a public link to the damage shots:
