Progress is extremely slow but, I do have a few moments here and there. Wifey took a bad tumble a few weeks back and still has me concerned...can't get her to slow down, even with her condition. No need for her to rush, but she does |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Thank you very much Jim, it's good to hear from you.
Sorry to hear about the wife, I hope she is doing better. Just keep your eye on her. Keep up the good work on the Jimmy, it's coming along nicely. |
Re: PO has me PO'd
She's looking good! Be careful tho or you'll end up like me. Everytime I get a new part I have to take it apart again to put that one on. Maybe thats why I've been restoring for 6 years?

Re: PO has me PO'd
no doubt. They run really well and still get good mpgs.
We're planning on ordering a Camaro convertible after they come out. It may be a Z/28 (556hp LSA?) convertible if its released by the time we order and with a rag top...otherwise a RS/SS convertible with a stick. :chevy: |

Good luck with the engine start, and yes it is always a good time hanging out with the boys. Be patient, they always seem to drift back home eventually http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip171.jpg seems like the 3/4" fastners work better than the 1/2" ones, just to short to grab! The bottom corners are the worst, no clearance room to swing the fastners up, My idea of using a hook tool to grab the fastner and swing it up was somewhat a success. I only stabbed my finger once, no where near as bad as Levi, that thing had to hurt http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip172.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip173.jpg |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Well had a couple hours to mount up the oil pan, dang PO had the rear passenger side cross threaded...put some grey RTV silicone in the top 4 corners where the block meets the gasket. Had to drop the oil filter to get at one of the oil pan bolts
Much easier job with the DIY4X4 crossmember flanged, no support this time from the top of the motor Once I get the valve covers bolted down, I should be able to add oil and prime the engine thru the dizzy hole. Big improvement from the days of finding plastic chunks from the timing sprocket in the oil pan http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip176.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip175.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip177.jpg |
Re: PO has me PO'd
mmm, shiny and orange..
That timing cover is sweet too! Is there another part of the cover that goes over the cam? |

Re: PO has me PO'd

Re: PO has me PO'd
Aren't those kevlar gloves with the grip on the palms great? I've got a buddy who supplies me somewhate steady from the storehouse at his office. I love 'em.
