Scott,That's funny and all to true with car projects. My car started as a r=
estore to stock project with a few reliability/safety upgrades. Next thing =
you know, it's a full on resto-mod from Dale A with a one of a kind suspens=
ion and other over the top upgrades. None of it makes sense after the fact,=
but when it's happening, each step seems like a small change of plan.

In my case it was mission creep.=20
Needed a throw out bearing.=C2=A0 Pulled engine.
Thought maybe a new clutch.=C2=A0=20
Then,=C2=A0 valve guides would be a good idea since there is no more lead. =
Screw in studs are a great way to strengthen the top end.=20
