Went to a machine shop to inquire about having my L6 head cleaned up. When I got back to the truck it wouldn't start.....:cuss: The mechanic came out and gave me a jump. Then I replaced the alternator. What a better place to need a jump than mechanic shop. :D

Painted my control arms with POR-15.

Changed my cam and lifters. Easy job everything went perfect. Nothing went wrong.....NOT. What a pain in the but. If I ever have to do this again I will pay someone to do it.

Took the plunge and ordered the 69 camaro gas tank kit. Got the tank, sending unit, straps, lock ring/o ring and the anti-squeak kit for $194.00. Will relocate the filler to behind the license plate.

Re-installed clutch return spring. Was looking under my truck for something, and saw the spring had come loose from the frame. Slid(? forced) my big fat behind:sumo: under the truck and put it back on. Thought the clutch pedal felt funny.

Got my front cross member painted.
