Were by the bridge on Hwy 360, Lake Austin by Ski Shores restaurant.
Let me know when your here. You can't beat County Line Restaurant on the Lake for good Texas barbecue.

My cousin lives in Spanish Oaks and we have been to the County Line on the Hill (Bee Cave Rd.) a few times - excellent food and amazing sunsets.

I've lived in Austin for 41 years and have never been to County Line on the Hill for some reason. I need to try it. The other County Line is very close to us, so we always go there.

Yep!:drool:

Thanks, Sam!:smile:

This is the Olds version. The builder and I did a trade since he had this ready to go. Spent two hours on the stand for break in prior to shipping. Should put out about 225hp which is plenty for my car since the original motor was only rated for 150 (165 advertised US testing standards). Once I get it installed and running I’ll dress it up BMW style:naughty:

A couple things are a Pertronix distributor, remote oil filter, short water pump, and a Rover extra quart oil pan. Exciting stuff!!!

Cheers:beers:

Been working today on finalizing the radiator fitment since I wanted to grab every inch I could. With the hood closed I was able to grab another inch or two:scholar: And an inquiring mind asked me on a PM about the hood prop rod. I made that and will detail that for you on the next post.

Dash was mounted with brackets for the gauges and primed. I formed the glovebox door as well but need to roll that a little in the wheel since it’s not smooth enough yet and fitment is a tad off too.

More to come!

Cheers
Dave
