Just checking on my Amazon list this morning and seen this ! Had to pull the trigger at that price! Long time since I’ll been on here, new job, kicking *ss and banking $$$$!!! Will post an update soon! Had to pass this along!!!

Scored this dirty *ss deck lid and spoiler for $150. No rust in it at all, spoiler has zero cracks! I’m ok with this deal.

For a guy with 2 vehicles that need to be painted in the next few years, that also kinda does body work for friends and family as needed, Remember it’s not hoarding if it’s cool sh*t!

That is the kinda positivity I need!

Ok fellas, please tell me I’m not alone with stuff like this. Working on cleaning up and organizing my supplies. This is stuff I keep in the basement that’s not supposed to freeze. It’s a normal amount of supplies right?!?????

Got a set of headman Oldsmobile headers off Amazon for 52% off! $153.26!! They were returned “damaged”. Only issue I seen is a few scratches in the paint! I planned on painting them with some VHT any way !!!!

Getting stuff here and there. Picked up rear disc brake parts of a Camaro. Local guy bought a wrecked one for the engine and trans, it was hit BAD. Haven’t seen one like this since the body shop days. Drivers shoes are still in the car. Hope they made it.

PROGRESS!!!! Got the new energy suspension bushings in the rear, also round 1 and 2 of degreasing the under side. Probably gonna go a few more. I’ll grab so pics of the progress before I start the next round. Got the body lifted up off the frame on the drivers side for the frame rail...

SCORE! Got a 200 4R for $75!!! Even if it’s a core it’s a great deal. Didn’t realize it till I picked it up but the torque converter came with it! I have a former customer that worked at a transmission shop, gonna give him a call soon.

Already made a trip to $1.25 store. 4 cans of oven cleaner, 3 scrub brushes, 3 packs of scouring pads. I also ordered a few Tyvek suits for power washing and for painting. Not doing the entire underside now, just from like under the rear seats to the back end of the trunk.

Next up degreasing the underside and prepping for primer and bed liner. After that the rear gets installed. Got a new gas tank as well. Before I do the bed liner on the outside of the floor and wheels, I’m going to weld in the new frame rail. Still hopeful to drive it before Halloween.

I WORKED ON IT!!! I Actually got something going!!! Finally after 3 weeks of I’m working on the car this weekend, I did!!! Not much, but a start!! Got the old bushings and casing’s out of the old rear!!!

Thanks everyone!

Well had my 90 day post opp check up today. Everything is healing nicely, no issues, pretty much pain free!!! A little sore here and there is I over do it, but getting fewer and further between! Spent yesterday fixing a broken hold down pin on the rear drums of the Tahoe, while I had it on jack...

Found a very nice set of manual WRX seats for a whopping $80 local! They need a good scrubbing but will work nicely in the Cutlass. Plus I found $2.75 in the car while taking them out so really only cost $77.25!

I have learned to listen to my body. Very hard I’m used to battling through pain as a former Ice and roller hockey player. But if I start feeling my back barking, I need to sit down and rest for a bit. Last week I was working on the garden and feeling good. Got down and was putting in path...

I’m doing my best. I remember when I was young and stupid and could diesel my way through and work on my car until 1 or 2 in the morning, get 3-4 hours of sleep and get up and do it again. I remember one time I put a new alternator in 71 Pontiac Ventura that was my daily in about 2002. Got the...

Well I’m getting ready to embark on replacing the frame rails. I bought a new welder about 2 years ago, a forney mig flux core 110v. It works great, I love it, but I really wanted a mig that has the option to run gas. Have a little saved up and pulled the trigger on a Eastwood mig 90. Gotta let...

Well back is doing pretty good, but have been getting muscle soreness and spasms if I over do things. Lifting 32 pounds in PT and going up 5 pounds a week. I’m not liking the way I feel after lifting or twisting so I’m looking for a new job because I can’t do what I had been. I physically could...

Yeah I now it’s more of a mid 90’s style ! Lol
