What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2020]

Changed the oil; put some of that Engine repair liquid stuff in with the oil along with a touch of Zinc. May not help the problem any but so long as I can start the car get up and down the ramps or turn it around as you see here in the pic then the longer it lasts the better. Just a few more bits here an there to do while I am saving for the SBC 350. The way things are going the new Engine probably won't happen until toward the end of November, Still could be a chance of it happening sooner that will just depend on a few things.

Right now I am awaiting for the new paint I put onto the Taillights to dry, I also re-paint the Plate - Fuel filler area once again except for the top part of it to match the taillights. I'll show you when I get it all together tomorrow.

This was a very $hitty Vacation with the 6" inches of snow we got on Tuesday it's all melted now but the mountain still has some lingering on it's top. . Allot more stuff around the house to get done too. Hopefully it'll stay warm a bit longer.View attachment 157038

I put a battery mat under the battery, and a battery heat wrap around it yesterday. I came home early because the jobsite that I have been working on shut down early due to the air quality. I know that many of you on the east coast are dealing with remnants of the last hurricane. We are having the worst fire season in recorded history on the west coast, and I am up near Seattle. That all took me about 30 minutes, I wanted to go out and do some things to the car today, but I decided not to argue with my wife, and I remained indoors instead of going outside. The smoke from the wildfires is so thick that I could not see the downtown skyline from 1/4 mile away on my way home from work yesterday.

Frankenstein is right, looks like it started out as a Datsun p/u, early '70s.
I do kinda like it though.

put the rear end up to check everything, looked good so I put the front up and I found my oil leak. The oil pan seal is leaking and coating everything behind it with oil. I stuffed some silicone to plug it and I had planned on dropping the pan this winter to change the BB oil pump to a good SB pump so I'll be changing the pan gasket. With the BB pump oil the oil seeps out of around the oil filler cap and it seeps out around of the grommets on the valve covers....

Recently finished installing the Flowtech 11104FLT headers and got Elsie back on the ground. Got creative with routing the plug wires as the fancy Mr.Gasket looms I bought for the job didn't coexist nicely with the header flanges. Made a pair of aluminum plates that are held by the two center bolts of the valve covers and then wire tied some separators that I already had to them (see pics below.) Actually worked out nicely. Now, I gotta get her to the exhaust shop to install some pipes the Spin Tech Super Pro Street mufflers.
