Sorry it's fighting you, but yep, sh*t happens to all of us. Love the car!

Awesome ride I DIG IT

Spinny sounds are cool! Awesome project!

As others said, that is a lot of parts for 58K miles. Rubber parts are what will die with age I once replaced tie rod ends on a friends car, then took it to be aligned. The tech put the car on the rack and "worked on it " for a few minutes. Soon he came to tell me that my tie rod ends were...

Just tell her you are giving it to her. Sign over the title, cancel the insurance and be done with it. My wife has 2 sisters that are the same way (and so are their kids). We have spent THOUSANDS propping them up. I put an end to the bleeding the last time we were asked for money to buy my...

I used the "ol rust bucket for bead roller practice on this sunny Sunday.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm not a fan of the shifter at all. it was cheap enough, but.......I have "adjusted" the crap out of the arm and rod so everything clears and works, BUT the clearance is too tight to assemble it. I was considering cutting off the mount points and redoing it so it can all...

LOL, It's not all that tall

Thanks! It's nice to have her naughty bits covered up! :ROFLMAO: On to the mechanical/electrical tasks. BTW the previous owner made that mess on the firewall

Please, I'm 5'10" and was a 200lbs 18 y.o. in basic training. I was told I was overweight, until I scored the highest possible PT score (was immediately issued a waver) Those charts are only for "average" people LOL..............I'm a bit more portly MANY years later @ 225 :confused:

My dad also used 2 in his body shop in the 70's ......I HATED the noise and smell of these things more than anything in the shop. Also, the open flame always seemed questionable in a shop full of paint fumes, but that never stopped him. LOL That shop and those heaters wrecked my hearing at a...

Hey, what do you want at 3am......LOL Also everyone's a critic also 2019 LMAO

I haven't used that particular heater, but I did use a "vent free gas heater" for several years. I was in the mid-west at the time and needed to keep the shop from freezing, this was my cheapest option. As others mentioned, vent free gas will put off moisture. It did cause some of my...

Thanks! The real work for that piece is in the paper pattern. Once you figure out where to cut the paper to allow your part to be formed with the paper, it's pretty easy. This piece it deceptive, the rear side of the tunnel has a smaller radius than the front, but there are not any compound...

Did some more wiring, and started on the dreaded transmission tunnel. NOTE, the cheap *ss shifter came with a template that didn't even match the shifter bolt pattern. At least my paper pattern worked reasonably well.

Ha,ha Thanks. I made those seats just to see if I could, they turned out to be serviceable units so it began. LOL It just kind of went from there, I plan on making aluminum door panels and headliner too.

I started hot gluing the passenger floor, fitting a switch panel, and testing seat positions. Oh yeah, I installed the drive shaft too.

I started out by spraying fuel all over the floor through a 55 year old split fuel line..... then we fired an engine that had been dormant for at least 15 years.....she seems to want to make noise. :-) noise courtisy of a 1964 Buick 401Naihead

I missed out on a low mile L77/4l80 this week because I have so much crap already. I NEED a new shop too! My wagon doesn't live at my house because I can't get it inside. Sooooo I have decided to hold off on my LS swap until I can clear this out of the way. She has been taking up shop...

Bummer about the fuse panel. BTW, I needed to say..... This is a bad *ss project!
