Funny, your list of projects is real close to mine...but rather than a jetski I've been dealing with around 30 photocopiers that I've hade to strip down to the frames(to recycle) in order to reclaim my shop(I have an office products company). I also need to do something with my cement floor it is "heaved-up" in the middle with large cracks to address.

My bird,'67 vert, has sat for a while now. When I replaced my body bushings I must not have loosened up the steering box enough 'cause afterwords it leaked like a sive(*sp)! At that time I saw that my holes on my subframe are rusted out. I drove it a little 'round town till my starter would not work when hot. Then my back was too sore from a rear-ender I suffered in my Durango. The bird hasn't left it's parking spot since.

Well, I'm ready to get things going again so I removed the steering box and bought a re-build kit and I rebiuilt it...well kinda. lets just say it was the cleanest core ever used to buy a fast ratio box. I also bought a late '67 400 long block($200.) and it has been dipped and it is in good shape (WOOOT!). The 400 is being re-built as we speak(~stock). I also ordered the subframe repair plates.


I'm gonna try and get my shop up and running this weekend, finish out stripping copiers,clean and organize...can't do much with the floor yet. This will allow me to pull the awsome '73 pont.350 (with 350Hood/trunk emblems on a '67 :shoothead ) that PO put in my bird(....oooh the power), and get the subframe off. With some luck I should have the subframe fixed and painted , 400 in, and Performance Suspension kit all done before next summer. I'll have to wait for the disk brakes.

I have to admit,I prolly wouldn't be so willing to do much of this if it wasn't for this forum and it's members.
This Lurker thanks you all!
