It's that time of weekend...what did you get done on your ride?
I didn't plan on doing too much, but I did get a little more done than expected.
I went in friday night to work on the 'ole girl, only to find out that the brand new fuel pressure \regulator that I had installed wed was stopped up. Clogged, broken...I don't know. All I know is Jegs is getting it back tomorow. If you've ever towed a vehicle with a chain...but only had one driver, you know what I went through. Throw in an under powered Lincoln doing the dragging, and a gravle parking lot with lots of ice, and you can imagine the fun I had. ![]() I washed the truck...and the Lincoln...just for sh!ts and giggles mostly, however, i must say it has been a loooooong time since I've seen the gold paint without the mold all over it. Took a few items off, scuffed down all the mismatched panels, and got them all in a coat of cheap spray bomb gray primer. Reinstalled the eyebrow trim and then painted/installed the drivers side door mirror...painted white of course. Messed with the carb a bit, removed the fuel pressure regulator, put 10 gallons of fuel in it...and called it a day. Aerial shot...(climbed on top of a cabinet for this shot...anything for a good pic, right?) |

Front end looks good LHM, the only thing I got done this weekend was putting my "future stereo" dream list togeather & surfed the net trying to learn more about car audio (until my eyes couldn't take it any more) (lol). Did manage to get all the parts for my headlight relay install though, regards Doug

The GMC got a tune-up. The Chevy got exhaust donuts. Did make some room in my garage, so time to get back on the long step.

Tail lights rewired, all new bulbs, oil, coolant change, plugs, wires, distributor, and a new cd player. But I missed the mark cause I didnt get the front end totally rewired. And no speakers yet.

Well I didn't get any work done on the truck at all. However, went with my son and bought a 68 Cutlass S. 62k miles (his first car). Been sitting for over 20 years as the top pick will attest. Power washer did a real nice job on her as you can see in pick 2. Now that we've cleaned her up the real work begins

Well the motor work is done and thanks to alot people on this board it runs pretty darn good! Thanks again to all who helped!!! Now if I could get the seats I am trying to get from a guy who got booted from the board I could get started on the interior and maybe be ready for spring and start driving this sucker again!!

Mr402...that is totally sick in the top pic. I know I'd like to see a better pic of it now...that seems amazing.
How did the carpet and headliner hold up in the humidity? |

71,
Trust me. The paint is not nearly as good as pic 2 suggests. Car was wet and the flash made it look better than it is. Car has some rust in the fenders and dash but not a door ding anywhere. Overall, my son made one heck of a find. Not certain of which of us is more excited about it. |

I did absolutely nothing to the truck and it was all I thought it would be. I celebrated my 40th B-day in Vegas this weekend with friends and had a great time!!!

Got my automatic column rebuilt....AGAIN....this time I'm hoping it stays fixed. As a bonus I ran my new 8.5 mm MSD plug wires. Next on the list is reseal of the rear-end differential, and start planning on putting my headers in.
