Installed new door window channels, painted my arm rests, ordered molded rubber floor mat and stainless sill plates. Slow but sure, it is coming together.

Changed out my old turn signal switch. One of the wires caught in the wheel and shorted the switch out. Took it out and fixed the short. Back in and on the road again. My and my two boys(7&9) went for a short cruise to the parts store to get a new flasher relay. Went to a small auto show today and checked out some nice rides. My wife and kids wanted to go so we all went. Nice to have something the family enjoys.

Got the block back from the machine shop, painted it, bolted on the oil pump, heads, and then realized the new cam I ordered was broken in half. Sending it back for a replacement next week =) Here is what was done so far....

I broke the driver side Hood Hinge when I was closing it, and at this moment I'm cheking on LMC cataloge to buy a new pair.
Do you think I also have to buy the springs or can I use the old one's?

I'd just drill that rivet out and put a pin or bolt in it. Good luck however you go. Jim

Put my last coat of POR-20 silver high heat exhaust paint on and got my exhaust installed for the last time.

Well i spent the late afternoon on this past friday finally getting back to my 69, well i decided to remove the fuel tank but it still had fuel in it, so being thrifty (tight) i couldnt see losing 4.00 gas, so i put it in my 02 tahoe, guess what i was doing today (mon)..pulling tahoe tank to clean out all the bad gas and replace the fuel filter...no more saving old gas for me...

I bought a pair of hood hinges for my '69 from LMC, bent the passenger side the first time I closed the hood.

Thanks, they are Spintech Super Pro Streets. 2.5" inlet/Outlet. Supposed to be their most aggressive street muffler. I got them from Maryland Speed for $150.00 for the pair. The POR Exhaust paint really turned out well, really love the way it looks.

I recently bought another truck, a '72 GMC. Once again, I have a GMC dressed in Chevy clothes so it looks like a '68. It's an LS 5.3 with a 4L60E. It has SpinTech mufflers running off a 3-inch exhaust...it's loud as hell!:metal::metal:
