not today, but since i just recently(tonight) got a new computer and got back online i will add my 2 cents

after finishing the air compressor wiring in the garage i finally got around to removing the cab. started pulling the bed sides the night before last. soon the frame will have a date with the blaster!

Lately, I just sit and look at it. I am waiting for all of my engine parts. The block, crank, & pistons go to the machine shop Monday. I had to abandon the 307 project. I am sticking all of the parts in a late model block. I will be pressure washing parts this weekend.

Found this on craigslist. Went to look at it and it is brand new in the box in perfect shape for $400.00. Not to bad saved me some coin over ordering one and having it shipped to me.

for all the great things he was, i am fervently glad that my grandfather was not as good of a welder as i. thankfully it wasnt to difficult to remove either piece.

loaded and ready to head to town

I found a used set of 71 K-10 mirrors on craigslist this weekend. They were rusty, so I took everything apart and sanded them down to bare metal, then repainted white. The mirror heads are beat up pretty bad, so I used a set of after market mirror heads I had laying around from lmc, it was a fun weekend project.

Had this on my 82 Chevy p/u almost 10yrs ago... We yanked the drivetrain and junked the body.. I gave this to a good friend of the family and just the other night he called me and asked if I wanted it back because it didn't work on his car and he knew I had a truck now. I DID NOT do the blue his kid was being dumb and painted it.. So now I gotta clean it up and slap it on my 68!!!!!
