Default Re: New Here, Nor-Cal

I have done some repairs since that pic, but mostly mechanical. I think she's too far gone to actually be restored and I'd never be able to justify that kind of repairs on company funds anyway. But I figure I'll be able to preserve it as long as I'm there anyway.
I do have the engine dialed in nicely, it runs strong and smooth. There is an exhaust leak on the L/S manifold to the head, but you can tell by the condition of the bolts they'll brake off in the head if I try to remove them so I'll just live with the leak.

The wife and I drove up to K-Falls a few years back, spotted this Chevy cousin to Ol Red in a field behind a gas station. Looks to be in pretty good shape:
