Anticipation.....

Yesterday, I finally got the car back together. The larger, thicker radiator is in, as well is the hi-flow water pump. The rad. mounts required a bit of modifying, because of the increased thickness, but it was no big deal. The shiny radiator is about all there is to see in the photo. Next weekend I'll fill the coolant, break-in the cam, and change to synthetic after the break-in. At that point, the car will be back to level after the Dec. disaster @ the yuletide slide in N.C. While it won't be done, it will be drivable! This is where the Anticipation part comes in. I've been "dying" to get behind the wheel and take it for a spin. Owning a toy like this is SO DAMN cool! Just tooling around, behaving myself, listening to the exhaust note is so relaxing. It's been so hard dealing with the fact that my "baby" was unwell. I've been "jonesing" for an acceleration fix! With the better cam, heads, and roller rockers, it's gonna be a rush to try it out! I'm hoping that the weather will cooperate, so I can take it out for a spin. I can't wait to yank the hand brake! The first event is still two months away and it's all I think about anymore...
