So happy for both Wayne and Tim!




Wayne, your beautiful wife Cindy put up a heck of a fight. She was a true warrior. Thanks for the messages all along. You rock...

After a long and laborious process (due to US Customs), Plain Jane landed yesterday. By a stroke of luck, the temps were in the 20's as opposed to below zero like it was earlier in the week. As one can imagine, a car with the characteristics Plain Jane possesses, it was still not happy starting out of the trailer. Nonetheless, I got it running and is now safe and warm in the shop.

Once the car was up to temp, I was pleasantly surprised with how docile the car is, especially when compared to the L88 in the HM Camaro. I suppose you could say the size of the motor adds manners.

I was on a tight schedule yesterday. In the short time I looked the car over, I don't know that Wayne's pics did the car (and his work) the justice it deserves. It's a stud! I'll get up close and personal with the car tomorrow.

I'll say it again Wayne.......you were a true gentleman to deal with. Furthermore, very accommodating with the shipping delays. Through it all and more importantly, I feel like I gained a friend.

More to come!

Thank you for the kind words Tim. I did set it up to be a bit soft on the bottom end, out of respect for the little tires out back (P275-60 Drag Radials)…:), and I think that helps with the manners. I hope you have as much fun with Jane as I had. For me the build is the big pleasure. And I too believe I gained a new friend. You’re in good hands Jane! W

Such a bad azz ride! I love it!!

All I can say is Wayne did a phenomenal job on this car. It certainly helps when one starts with a low mileage clean unit to begin with. In the pic below, is just a small example of the detail that goes unnoticed until you are right on top of the car. This is how Wayne plumbed the overflow for the radiator......

The rest of the pics, are basically Nova porn. One can only appreciate the build quality once the car is on a hoist, which we know Wayne did not have the luxury of.
