Hi Steve,
When i bought my car my wife was pregnant with our first child. We had 3 in 3 years after that. 2 boys and a girl. I lost my father early 2017 unexpectedly so that made for an even busier year with my mother and slow year for the car.

I Have continuously been sourcing and buying parts and that can be an exhausting process in itself. Been trying to complete all the parts to make the motor complete and correct. Last few bits were timing cover, water pump, valley pan. Brads put aside some other parts for me like the emmissions piping, pulleys and thermostat housing.
Getting this car correct is a mission in itself with so many one year only pieces but i feel i am on track with where i wanted to be. I hoped for a 10 year resto and i am half way so i have to keep the momentum going.

Parted a wrecked 76 TA that me and dad bought before he passed.

I will have to make an update on the thread soon but haven't really had the time to sit and write and upload pics.

Sorry to hear about your father's passing.

Congrats on the kids. You must REALLY have your hands full now.

We'd love an update on the thread, even if it is to just give a list of parts that you are still in need of. I'd be happy to assist and I know a bunch of other guys here would be as well.
