Finished bolting the body to the frame, centered the body, torqued the bolts! Now I can reassemble the rest of the car and drive it for the first time in two years!

Not mine, but I rode in a turbo'd 5.3 Malibu today. Highly recommended.

Put the wrong oil filter on my car and proceeded to empty 5 fresh quarts of oil onto my garage floor when I started the car. Box said fram ph25, but filter was actually a ph30. Never looked at the filter when I put it on. Went to the store to get oil dry and more oil. Threw the oil dry down and quit for the day.

I successfully aligned the Pig all by myself. 4 hours saved at a shop that probably wouldn't do it the way I wanted, anyway. Pretty damned proud of myself, considering that I only had half a clue going in! The box adjustment is still a little tight, but otherwise, I'm happier than a Pig in sh*t!!.

Drove the wagon. Felt good to have accomplished something... and to have annoyed the neighbourhood.

After driving the El Camino around in 90+ degree weather loaded with 20 bags of mulch, I found that my ghetto fuel return system is indeed prone to vapor locking. I could not get the engine over 1000 rpm for the first mile after a hot restart. After getting it back home, I was going to repurpose the EVAP line as a fuel return line and applied a little air pressure to the line to see if everything is okay and if the gas cap was vented. I promptly found that the hardline had holes rusted into it. It is in a pretty much impossible to reach place, so I will be cutting that section out and replacing it with rubber back to the tank.
