Worked on wrapping the headers.

looks great 🙂 how many rolls did you use for each header an it 2" right ?
Thanks...I used 2'' 50ft roll per header. Kinda suprised it took that much.
 
got pissed and almost kicked my car... went to leave work, got on it a little hard and it stalled... i knew i was running low on gas so i thought she ran out, so i filled a gas can and poured it in... wouldnt start, after further inspection, i noticed my dizzy jumped up, THE DAMN HOLD DOWN BOLT RATTLED LOOSE, and the dizzy popped up and i lost all timing, so i pushed her under an overhang cause it was raining, pulled the dizzy out, pulled #1 plug, re-found TDC, and then i fuct myself, i knocked the dizzy hold down bolt into the engine, freakin thing slipped out of my hand (hand is all busted up from it getting caught between two rocks at work) and it dropped in the hole the dizzy goes in... after an hour of trying to fish it out with a magnet tipped screw driver qith no luck i ran to home depot and bought an extendable magnet and a nifty flexible claw hand with led light, finally got the bolt out, re-installed my dizzy and thread locker the hell outta the hold down bolt... STUPIDITY HURTS...
 
Spent the day at the Sentimental Cruisers show in Forked River. Perfect weather, right on the river. Was a great day!

removed the front lower control arms to modify them to fit the Howe inserts so I can use screw in ball joints. Got the ball joints and bushings removed. The left side bolts came out without too much of a problem but the right side was locked in place so I had to use the sawzall to cut the bolts. I use anti seize on just about every bolt I install but it's obvious yours truely did not use it on these 1/2" bolts. That means the energy bushings that were put in 3 years ago will need to be replaced. Now I have to buy the front control arms kit for $75 and won't be using the upper bushings, I hate wasting money...:blam:
 
I've been pulling the motor apart to swap out for the last 2 weeks, hopefully this weekend we will get it done.
 
Nothing really in a while. Had shoulder surgery and out for a while. New addition to the family, back to work again and trying to catch up everything I have missed. I have to do the upper control arms and figure out why my engine is running rough. My car hates me right now and she is staring to act up...
