It actually drove onto the trailer under her own power this morning. Here are a few progress pics. I didnt know they could get so dirty setting around in the garage!

it looks like it may be peppy.

I took it aound the block, even with a horible tune and fouled plugs it had no problem lighting up the rears at any speed in any gear. Can't wait to get some exhaust on it so I can giver her a real tune.

What? It has headers-how much exhaust system do you need?

I have made about 15 trips around the block and the gas guage hasnt moved as much as I thought it would. I don't think it ever stopped spinning the tires. Now I need to get a new power steering pump. It dont turn so easy with a 14 inch steering wheel and no power steering.
