y88rick  if I can get the 77 W72 auto motor with the parts car, do you want it ? so you have the correct motor in your car.  I told the guy I will trade him his motor for one of mine + some cash. I have a L78 77 400  ether way I'm going to try to get it .( back up motor for mine)

never mind rick it's not the #'s motor.

you save so much time by just paying someone to blast it for you. and if you factor in the time and materials you would have to buy to do it yourself, its the same price if not less imo, i paid 400 to get every thing blasted saved me months in time

how true. I prob cut a month off the build and 1/3 the cash,  my 79 was weeks cleaning under the car.

Cool.  Nice lift too   I use a Ford 545 4x4 backhoe with forks on the bucket and a John Deere 5020 with a front end loader for mine, but they don't fit in the building.  Outside use only.

As if you got that with paint already!!!

I need to get heat for my garage.

I figured by the time I'm done mine you should be on to the 5th one after this one   

[HOMER]

funny thing about the parts car , remember there is no drive line in it.  I got there, backed up to it dropped and the ramps. backed up to the front tiers. hooked the winch to it. and started reeling the cable in . this is the funny part. (  the guy yelled stop, hold on. and reached in and put the shifter in (N) . I turned my head with the biggest grin. and just shook my head. )  that for sure need to go to Jeff Foxworthy, Redneck Joke of the Day.
