I drove the GP to go get some exercise cutting my sons lawn, it's got to be close to an acre so it's a good work out. I had to get gas for the GP and it was nice having a working fuel gauge so I didn't have to fill it up. I don't like carrying the extra weight of fuel unless I'm heading out on a long trip.....

Today I tightened the bolts in my transmission pan. I noticed a small leak on the pan, so I thought I would try this, before taking it to a shop. Check the fluid and no loss, so all seems good. Went to Wally''s World and bought black paint and primer. I want to do a little detailing to the under-carriage. Before I do that I need to hit it with engine degreaser again.

I removed my red top battery to charge it after some idiot left the bypass switch on for the cooling fan all nite. Luckily I have the ctech 7002 to charge it cause it was so dead I don't think a normal charger would bring it back to life

Picked up a monte ss steering box with valve and springs for heavy road feel along with a astro van shaft. Cant wait to install it. I feel like the kids on xmas morning whenever I get a new or old part for that matter......

I would like a better steering box than the stock one for my Cutlass. Suggestions please!
My buddy has a quick ratio box from f body 85 Trans am. Pm timo22 if interested.
I'm interested. Do you know what he wants do for it? Is it a direct fit. Or will adjustments need to be made?

My Allstar aluminum rad had a small leak on both sides where the core is welded to the tank which I was going to fix this winter. But I found a guy selling a used Griffin rad he had in his camaro with a BB so I took a nice 30 mile drive on country roads to pick it up. It's in great shape and I got it for $120....:)

Just finished modifying my header panel emblem and it took WAY more time than it should've!!! It needs to match the theme of the build, so I taped off the new rocket emblem, sanded it, sprayed it, then meticulously trimmed a piece of carbon fiber down to fit the inset part. Not 100% perfect but just a little custom touch.
