Sealed up the 230ci today. Working with gaskets and sealer is stressful for me. Glad it's over. I also set/adjusted the valve lash today. For me, a lot less stressful.

Oooh pretty shineys!! Put my overtime to work - finally bought the pulley/bracket kit I needed when I did the front end swap! http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/fb...230_123101.jpg Before shot. http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/fb...231_190815.jpg After. Got rid of a cool period correct but cumbersome fan shroud. We'll see how that little fan works in Houston traffic. I might have to go to a bigger unit with a built-in shroud. http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/fb...231_140945.jpg Oh yeah, I stuck a new carb in there while I was at it |
Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Well I finally got around to replacing the bed wood in my '66 C-20. We got all the boards sealed and the new rails treated and coated with POR15.
http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/fb...130_144134.jpg my nosy neighbor comes over while these were drying and says "don't those go the other way? " well at least he's got a sense of humor! http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/fb...130_144159.jpg Mrs. Hilander even got into the action! http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/fb...130_173807.jpg |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Been working on my truck more the last couple of weeks. Tired of talking about it. Front half of frame is clean and coated in POR. Almost finished with putting new bushings under the cab. My friend sprayed color and matte clear on the motor and transmission yesterday evening. Next step is to move the crossmember forward to center the front wheels then fabricate the mount for rack and pinion. After that, put in the motor/trans and start wiring. I ordered the harness from PSI yesterday, can't wait to get it !
