Fellas,

Well this week end we finally got my Ole' One Bad Mamma Jamma '62 off the jack stands and blew off the dust and swatted some bats away....
We started to kill some cancer in a few areas.
Figured it would be easier to take the windshield out....:gi:
I will update my Build Thread soon..... But I worked 67 hours last week and probably do the same this week. Little money....little time....
Well here is what we did so far:
I will post a few for now ,cuz I'm wore slap out and tired.
Take a gander:

Thanks,
One Bad Mamma Jamma

Took a load of grass clippings and tree branches to the dumps, giving me an excuse to wash the truck.

Nearly got the engine wiring harness completed. Everything under the hood is done now I just need to finish up the portion that runs under the dash to the PCM. I'll try to take pictures later this week. I also made mounts for the 95 camaro radiator and the new fuse and relay panel.

I see you cut your firewall like I did.

You have to slide the engine forward to get the valve cover off or is there enough room?

When I cut mine, I made sure I could get the valve covers off. I dont know if you can really see it in these pictures or not.

in my old truck i used the CPP/ Truck&Car shop mount kit in the stock location and did not have to do any modifications to the firewall. Also I ran full length headers and power steering too...only minor modification needed was a very very minor notch for the driver side primaries to clear the frame rail.

on another note, I ghetto stitched my seat vinyl with some duct tape and then laid a new wool blanket as the cover....pretty neat fix for the time being, plus side was it was all of $18 bucks and an hour of time.:metal:

New plugs and wires....throttle response and engine idle are waaaay better than before. Although now Im hearing a slight "electric" ticking sound...very faint but its there, could the plugs not be gapped properly? OR could I just be paranoid and my nasty exhaust leak playing with my ears.

The painted call me and asked me to stop by and sign off on the wet sanding he did. I've never seen the process and am impressed of just how glass smooth it makes the primer.
