What did you do to your non g-body project today [2025 edition]

Dipped the headers in oxalic followed by citric and a thorough rinse. They still need polished but now look completely different than before:

My Mother's polish dried up on me so I used the last of my Simichrome polish on the valve covers- no more yellow:

Picked up some brand new OER armrests for $20, though they're the wrong color I couldn't say no:

The rear carpet panel and jack storage piece arrived today, trim panel ships tomorrow:

And I still had something in storage from my '93 to put inside:

Scuffed and hit the cleaned battery tray with some Rusty Metal Primer, Filler Primer, Black Sandable, and finally some gloss black Engine Enamel. I slipped up & forgot to use Sealer Primer...

And the sill plates simply got 2 light coats of Trim & Bumper Black:

I also bought these among other things, and love wholesaler closeouts:

Welp both of my cars are out here getting worked on (but somehow not being worked on)....so I thought I'd start getting my garage together. Bought and assembled an amazon shed for my lawn crap, building a storage tote rack to get better organized...

R&L carriers dropped off the new engine for the K10 today! Went with a Blueprint 383, should be enough for the truck.. hopefully it will be a solid engine for years to come.

Blew money on boring house stuff, grabbed a new Icon LED work light, 32" pry bar, and 4# dead blow hammer from HF. Came home, cleaned up my toolbox, and made a better home for my dismal prybar selection.

Frees up the top of my box for the new Milwaukee impact and ratchet plus charger. I cut this from a scrap of 2" aluminum angle. I have room to add more/better bars now. The black handled one I picked up today for $16, I didn't realize HF had good cheap bars. Thought they had flimsy cheap and $100 Icon only, pleasant surprise there.
