She got a new motor mount trans mount had the rear leafs re arced added a leaf and new spring bushings plus i swapped in the ashtray assembly into it so now i have a place to put the cigar in lol
last night i went to a birthday party for an old friend and had some nice cake and chicken wings lol
Im trying to get the ambition to get the chevy project going again
I hope everyone set their clocks right if their state participates in the time change and i sure hope everyone tested their smoke and co 2 detectors and changed batteries cause i sure dont want to hear that anyone got hurt of killed for such a simple thing to do
How about you all?

Looked at the trucks and just shook my head. :lol: Getting ready to remove the window a.c. units from the house and store them away upstairs in the garage.

Over the past couple months I've been collecting parts for my next truck project. Yesterday I finally scored a major piece of the project, the actual truck. LOL.

Been looking for a 48-53 Chevy and picked up a '50 Chevy that will be turned into a Rat Rod style truck resting on an S-10 chassis.

The truck is totally disassembled, needs a hood and a rear fender. The stock chassis is junk, someone tried to graft a late model Caprice clip and had no earthly idea what they were doing. But! The deal included every patch panel needed for cab rust repair, new glass, new glass rubber, new cab rubber, boxes of parts, and a clean title all for $500.00!

I brought home a truck load of stuff last night the rest will be brought home next weekend. This one is going to be a blast not having to worry about body and paint work. LOL. Other than the rust repair of course.

Havent looked at my truck for awhile, I forgot it was still in the garage.. I need to get out there and get the front suspension apart.

put the jack and washer jar back in it and changed the fuel filter

Re: what did you get done standard time edition 11/7/2010
 

all I did was wash my truck!

Re: what did you get done standard time edition 11/7/2010
 

Did a tuneup on mine, surprising how much that motivates you to do more work once it runs a lot better.

I sold a truck this weekend . Only leaves way too many left. I didnt do anything else truck related.

Painted my grill trim/bowtie and threw them back on

Re: what did you get done standard time edition 11/7/2010
 

I didn't do anything truck-related. I cleaned gutters, raked and bagged leaves today. Got a different phone Saturday.

Re: what did you get done standard time edition 11/7/2010
 

Curious as well... that was such an amazing truck.

Re: what did you get done standard time edition 11/7/2010
 

carried the truck out to the place we're gonna paint it. probably be more work cleaning up the shop than it will be painting the truck. get to spend more time with our aunt that's suffering from cancer, and that's a good thing.

Rock on the freeway shattered my windshield so I got a new one and had put in the chrome trim.

It was my 77 longbed. It needed a new home as I was neglecting it.
I sold it cheap so it wouldnt just sit .

Found out my 454 needed 2 exhaust valves. Rockers had beaten the crap out of them and one was worn down a little past the top of the keepers. Engine was getting ready to drop it. Ordered 2 valves and rockers. Waiting on the parts till i can get it back together and into the truck. The one benefit of this is that I found out the 454 I was going to use and pretty much just take a chance on running right had been recently rebuilt 0.060" over. Still has the crosshatching in the cylinders.

made some solid progress on the C5 rear disc brake conversion kit I'm creating. Got the brackets from the cutter, installed them on my spare 12bolt, mounted everything, even solved the e-brake cable situation. All thats left is to center the caliper over the rotor and install for good.

If your selling them off cheap, put me in line for that sweet blue SWB.

Re: what did you get done standard time edition 11/7/2010
 

some welding, some machining and some wiring.

Re: what did you get done standard time edition 11/7/2010
 

Just got in from the 4th coat of VHT Caliper Paint on my new rotors, calipers, and drop spindles, not sure what CPP covers their parts in pre packaging, but marine clean, super clean, and finally brake kleen and some scrubbing the paint layed on nice.

I got a 9" earlier in the week and I tore it down this weekend. I found out that it has a trac-lok differential and 31 spline axles. I will get some pics of it when I charge my battery for the camera. I plan to rebuild it with 3.89 gears and disc brakes and throw it under the truck for the time being. I can't wait.

Put in a new deck from Dual...butchered the dash up something fierce, and strongly wishing I would have just found an OEM replacement.

Hauled furniture from point A to point B! :D Other than that, I have ordered Monroe Reflex shocks. Should be installed next week.
