    What did you do to your non-G Body project today [2024 edition]

    Had to post in this so I get notifications, lol. I'll be wrenching MORE on our 55 Chevy 210 Prostreet here soon to get ready for Power Tour 2024. I'll be shooting a ton of video for my YT channel as well. We've already did a Silver Sport Transmission TKX 5 speed swap, coilovers in the fronts...

    I haven't seen a thread yet for this, and was curious if anyone is going this year? My brother and I are taking his Pro Street 55 Chevy, long haul if it makes it, lol.

    That's what I am figuring! I used to (12 yeas ago) have access to some nice machine tools on base till we changed missions, so they all went away. I made alot of stuff for my projects after hours, and definitely miss that ability. I have to relearn myself on how to use it, shape the HSS...

    Thank you! It's only taken longer that I'd like to admit, but, I am enjoying the progress.

    Another addition to the shop! Something I've always wanted, but never had the room for, a lathe. This is a 1946 Southbend 9A, with a quick change gear box and a power crossfeed. Cane with a 3 and 4 jaw chuck, steady rest and anther rest, some collets and tooling, and quick change tool block...

    Yes sir, I have those on order. I have the cover for the bead break shovel on there already. This machine has the metal Duck head with the bearing, but like you stated, that has a tendency to mess up wheels.

    Shop update. Finally finished up refurbishing the tire machine! Note I didn't repaint the whole machine, just a few select things and a decent cleaning. A rundown of the items repaired: I have replaced all the air lines, as they were replaced before with SAE tubing, and were brittle and...

    BUILD THREAD 81 Buick/Olds Turbo Wagon 02/15/2024 More Parts!

    Another update! Not having the cash, or waiting on parts to be available, has come in handy. I finally scored some NOS lifter retainers, or dogbones, for the roller cam conversion. If you recall, I am using GM roller lifters and dogbones in this engine. This was the final hard item to...

    I also removed the pedal assembly to clean, and free up the pedals as they were really stiff from corrosion. I have 2 replacement air manifolds on the way. More parts arriving today so I can replace the air lines with the correct metric lines which are 8, 10, and 12mm, a new air...

    A little more over the past few evenings. I took the rim clamp cylinders off, cleaned and inspected them, they are good. Also took the rim clamps and slides off to clean, blast and paint. I cup wired the table to get the rust off. The clamp cylinders were missing all sorts of...
