We've got it in the garage and up in the air so stay tuned for updates.

So, it's been 3 years and 8 months since I last had this poor old GP out at the track. That last day, the crank in the $200 short block broke and the car has become another place in my shop to sit stuff on (LOTS of stuff). I'm thinking of resurrecting the parts out of it and sticking them in something a little more presentable.
Is there any interest out there for me reviving this thread?
