What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2022]

[Supercharged111]

Front half of the T56 assembled onto the Mainshaft.

This is C5 Corvette MN6 internals installed onto a GTO T56 Mainshaft. Direct install, zero issues. When complete with the whole built unit it'll essentially be a GTO T56 but with MN6 Gear Ratios. Or LS Fbody T56 with triple/double Synchros...😃

I'll give you $100 for it, but only if you throw in the front plate with it.

I did some googling, and it seemed minimal. That said, we chose cedar for its rot resistance and lack of chemicals. I added the visqueen barrier to prevent contact between the wood and the soil, so the only possible leaching is going to be between the bottom of the studs and the existing clay back into the trimix. I think it'll be slim to none at the end of the day.

I did get 2 more yards, should have taken the extra big scoop dude offered, but I was scared of breaking my truck. 4000# is a lot for an old half ton frame.

But it did it. It was a little squishy, but nothing resembling sketchy. I was surprised once again. To my knowledge, I never got into the bump stops either.

Hindsight being what it is, I wish I'd taken the extra generous scoop.

I'm just a couple inches shy of where I want to be, story of my life. Next is to get some sort of hail protection up.

Prepper be preppin'.

This is practice for the real thing.

Natasha is doubling her planned garden for this year. Got to figure out how to raise chickens... and my BIL and I are scheming on raising a cow.

Parked the TBSS and got a refund. Booked the HellKitty and Lady Mullet for inspections on 2 May. And got a big fat check from the Ontario government refunding the stickers on the six cars. Tee hee. Just need a final premium quote from Hagerty on the Kitty and we're good to go.

Nice, we did a bunch of pots last year. Definitely getting chickens when we make our escape to the sticks.

Did the TBSS get repaired?

Didn't know we stepped into the prepper talk.. I'm just politely setting up my stash of rifles...

Still waiting on parts. Could be a while.
