We got our first snow this week so I got the beater and the plow working and we used it for the first time she did well STILL trying to get parts for the other two and the more we try to get ahead the harder to get things going but hopefully in the coming week things will fall into place How about you all??

got most of my drop done. The spindles I got were mislabeled so the front is only down 3 inches. Installed energy suspension bushing, inner and outer tie rod ends, pitman arm (very difficult), idler arm, ball joints, upper and lower a-arms, drop springs, flip kit, wheel bearings, brakes, etc. 17 hours and 3 trips to the parts store and it's 90% done.

I plastidipped some of the chrome on the front. I'm thinking of doing the trim on the sides too... if I decide I don't like it, it's not too hard to remove.

I'd like to do something about the grill too, not sure what though.

I'm thinking about plasti dipping my whole truck until I'm ready for paint

Several things. Had to replace the cap/rotor in my son's 91 Camaro. I had never seen a cap/rotor keep a car from starting, I mean nothing, never tried to fire. Put the cap/rotor on and she fired right up. Has fired up every time now.

Got the clutch/brake pedal assembly in my 86. Going to get the drive shafts shortened this week. Hopefully order the heartthrob exhaust in the next 2 weeks!

Almost been 3 months since I took the k5 off the road to go manual. I am ready to get her on the road.

Had some help, so I swapped out my np203, to a np205. Everything works, and I didn't find anything else broken in the process, so it was a good weekend!

Bought a set of window felt/gaskets for both doors at a swap meet and spent a good amount of time fighting to remove the window then fighting the crap fitment of the new stuff. Its better than the pieces that were still there but I now see what all the complaints ive read over things just not fitting when it comes to repop parts for our trucks.

And I still have the driver side to do...yay.
