I got the engine back in and started. Timed it and everything sounded right. I did not have time to take it out for a shakedown run as we left the next day for vacation. Just got back and it snowed here. Good grief, 80 degrees one day and 33 degrees and snow the next. Now I am waiting for a dry day at least to get it out and drive a bit.

That's great Mike! Now what's the plan for the rest of winter? Hope you've got some other project going!

Too many sometimes. Working on the 64 Polara, it is almost ready to start up. Also I couldn't sell my Grandson's T bucket project, so I am going to put a Falcon 6 cyl and auto trans in it and hopefully make it more presentable for sale.

Hi, this sounds like a Paul Harvey story, "and the rest of the story is" Long story short, when I was installing the engine and transmission I tweaked my left knee. One of those silent thoughts to yourself, now thats gonna leave a mark. Well it did. I hobbled around the house for a week and couldn't get out to the shop to finish up the coupe or nothing. Dr after several xrays and attempted physical therapy for a pulled muscle, decided to do an MRI. Turns out I tore my medial miniscus and a couple of other little matters. Had surgery last week and got the stiches out Wednesday. Started my own Physical Therapy, since there is no room at the real ones until next month. So I am done feeling sorry for myself and back on the road to the track again.

Holy cow Mike! Been there, done that, and have the scars to prove it! Hope yours goes better than mine has!

Sounds like you got everything under control buddy. You got this my friend. Take your time and get well. My legs are screaming so I feel your pain literally. Hope you get better soon.
