well my car goes in to the shop next weekend, hopefully the out come will be a smoothly running engine, and my labors will not be in vein. if it dosent i may end up selling it for parts.
the lesson from this is never fall in love with an old car.

ok today i got started by hooking the transmission cooling lines back up properly and getting the elertircs hooked up, sadly it seams that my starter has given up the ghost. this would not have been so bad had it not been in a tight spot requireing my haveing to disconect the exaust again, and posibly the transmissions cooling line as well. but the carburator is now in place and i fixed the shifter so it now funtions properly. tomorrow i bo out to but all the parts that need replacing. fuel lines wireing and ofcource a brand new starter.
after all this and much cleaning as well i still have to hook up the power steering the ignition coil and the whole fuel system before i can crank her up, hopefull im looking at running by the end of the week.

w00t time for a major update, today my prayer has been answered. after at least 2 weeks of constant work i managed to free my frozen engine. it turned out after i had taken almost all of the engine apart that i dare do in the car that the cylenders were rusted in. so after pouring phosphuric acid and penitrateing oil down the cylenders it finally freed up. and when it did it shot all that fluid out all over the car, its going to be a pian to clean but im still over joyed that it finally freed up and so now ill do a little dance MATT

(in response to an interview question "Do you have a pet peeve having to do with this biz?")
People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.
