Took the 66 SPL and un siezed it, got it to turn. It has a popped head gasket (that lovely fountain one can observe on the thermostat housing). So pulled the head, water pump (thats shot), intake, exhaust, radiator etc... It is all taken down and I have my daughter cleaning and prepping the parts. She's 18, the 66 will be hers, shes helping a ton and is very much into learning everything she can. The head looks good, cylinders look good.

Ordered head set, water pump, new thermostat housing, thermostat, master cylinder rebuild kit, caliper rebuild kit, carb rebuild kit, etc... etc... etc.... Hoping it gets here before next weekend.

On the 70, tomorrow it gets it's new tires on classic American Racing Mags and I work on that car.
