I built a 383 6 pak engine for a buddy with a 68 or 9 Road Runner. We got it fired off on the day John Lennon got killed. Never will forget it. Silver with a flat black hood. God rest his soul, My friend has been gone for years.

I “finished” the car in 2001, it had some minor oil leaks and generally started showing its age. I resealed the engine and replaced a bunch of mismatched and incorrect hardware. I also rebuilt the alternator, wiper motor, power steering pump, fuel pump and oil pump. Everything else got repainted, powder coated or ceramic coated. My goal is to finish it up by May so it’s ready for the road for the summer season. |

When I sold the Charger it had plenty of tread on the front tires and none on the back. That car could do a burnout like nobody's business. :burnout: |

The answer is going to be the same almost every day, working on the car. The to-d list is getting shorter but there's still a lot to do.
Tonight, I worked on getting the front suspension reassembled... |

I rebuilt the starter in my mid-engine FI 350 Corvair. Found a broken spring on the bendix shaft.

I keep thinking that I'd like to get another Charger like the one I had as a kid. But then I see the prices and think...Eh..No. Not going to happen. I had the Magnum 500's on my car just like that. |

I went to a trade show today. A local lumber yard puts it on every winter (except the last three) at the county fairgrounds. Product reps with free pencils, bluegrass band, and good food! And I end up seeing old faces. Did I mention the pencils? Christmas all over again!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I sat around an empty house today waiting on the internet guy. Turns out he remembered me. He asked. You're the guy with all the cars'
Yup. That would be me. I was going to take down some more ugly drapes but my DeWalt decided it needed a vacation. So that didn't happen. At least I got the purple ones out before it croaked. It's on the charger now. Who get's purple drapes? :confused: They are resting comfortably in the garbage can now. Hopefully the landfill wont consider them hazardous waste. I drove my Jag over there. I think the tires are too wide. It tracks like crazy. My 70 Mustang did the same thing. I'm going back to stock wheels. See if that helps. :confused: But that 350 really scoots. My wife was following me in the Jeep and I left her in the dust. :buh: I love that car. Nothing beats Chevy power. :) |

I went for a Kidney biopsy. Spent the night in the hospital.
Never felt better, lost weight, working out 2-3 times a week for the first time in my adult life. My blood work says I have kidney disease. WTF! I'm trying to stay positive, but I'm not gonna lie it hit me like Mike Tyson shot to the body. |

I've been thinking of canning my BBQ sauce and salsa. It has a very short shelf life just in jars with no preservatives. But canning is new territory for me. |

I started hacking away at the growth that sprouted from the huge Silver Maple that had begun coexisting with my wooden barn roof, facia, and gutter. It was a crude way of tapping the tree. I still have more hacking to do today |

Now you can add 'tree surgeon' to your list of services. ;)

Dermatologist :lol:. I'm sure it will heal up. I'm not going into the bark, but the roots that come out that I'm carving are bleeding pitch. I'll get a picture

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I went by my new place today. My new next door neighbor that I haven't even seen or met yet was having a big fence installed between his house and mine.
Well... So much for the welcome wagon. :lol: Actually I think he wanted that fence for a long time. The lady (nut case) that I bought the property from was ranting about the property line. I think that she wouldn't let him build it so he slipped it in quick when the place sold. Escrow found no problem with the property line and I could care less about inches on an acre lot. You're not going to hear any complaints out of me especially if I get a free fence out of the deal. :lol: I will offer to pay half the cost of the fence just to be a good neighbor. Hopefully that will ease the tension of playing the drums and electric guitars and the loud exhaust pipes. Not to mention the 100lb. German Shepherd snarling through the fence at him. He won't mind. :o |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Nothing better than tossing a bundle of cash over the fence at your neighbor to ease any tensions right? ;)
