Truck is 100% assembled and now its time to burn some rubber and do some adjustments and check any leaks out.

Re: What did you get done 2/22//15 edition

I got the exhaust replaced on my CUCV Saturday but the engine has developed a fuel leak, makes it hard to start. Rain today, couldn't mess with it. Always next weekend, right?

I sold the sway bar and sway bar brackets off my parts truck to a fellow board member. I had a tough time getting the factory rivets out. It took a grinder, air hammer, air chisel and a torch to get those 30 year old rivets out.

Re: What did you get done 2/22//15 edition

Manged to fill my garage with fumes, and probably woke a few neighbors up around 2:00 am this morning starting my truck with open headers.
Yes there was some drinks involved...

Re: What did you get done 2/22//15 edition

Chased issues with my 97 Yukon, Crank Sensor, TPS, and Idle Air Solenoid. Changed the cooling fan switch on my kid's Civic, did about 10 minutes welding on the Model A project.

Re: What did you get done 2/22//15 edition

FINALLY finished the exhaust on my '76 step side (454)----from headers to tailpipes----all new and shiny (for now)!
It looks (and sounds) so good I want to take it back for another state inspection since I barely passed last time with all the leaks!

Re: What did you get done 2/22//15 edition

Finally got my drive shaft down to the drive-line shop to get it cut for my LS swap. I think I got my temp sender issue figured out only to find out I think I broke my new sender, two steps forward and one back.

Re: What did you get done 2/22//15 edition

Bought a white front bumper (with brackets) to replace my chrome one with bent brackets. I think the white should look sharp with the white wheels/dog dishes.
