What did you do to your truck today!

[VWNate1]

It's been raining here in LaLa Land (hard to believe but true) so I walked out to it , fired it up and drove off.......



It's a nice rain driver in spite of the rust holes in the upper cowl that drips water onto the floor mat .

Nice and comfy , good vision of the Native Born Californians who , amazingly enough , speed up in the rain ("gotta get out of this rain , Nate") then act surprised when they spin out all over the place .

Even well past midnight all the So. Cal. Freeways were closed here & there with multiple vehicle pile ups , I motored on past sedately @ 55 ~ 60 MPH , radio playing softly , heater on low , elbow out the open driver's side window ~ the Cali. rain is *so* soft and warm , it's actually enjoyable to drive it in most of the time .

Nicely worded Nate.
And I never would have guessed that beautiful truck has rust holes!

(Yesterday) Finished my HEI conversion thanks to the good advice located in this here forum. Replaced the distributor, wires, coil, plugs and added some wire guides. Ended up having to go back to zero to get it started but then it fired off first go.

So then I washed it and drove it.

1) I'm not driving it while the weather is ugly. That may not answer the question.

2) I don't use it as a daily driver...But that may not answer the question, either.

2a) I just washed and spruced up everything under the hood. Not a good answer, either, probably.

3) I got into the habit of covering it for cat, leaves, birds, and weather reasons while I was building it inside.
Right or wrong, I guess I'm just a man of habits. (I proved that in a bad way until September of 1981 )

4) But, probably the best answer is that I just wanted to.....

What a great rig you have there!

Installed a Detroit Locker unit. Everything went together almost as planned. It locks/unlocks the way it should, but I didn't mark the preload adjusters properly before I took them out! Next step is determining if I want to try that myself or take it to a shop.

Absolutely no apology required. It's all in fun.

It's been awhile, but I bought myself some early Christmas gifts. The last month I got the engine reassembled and installed and was able to at least fire it up (not fully running yet). All the glass is installed and today I pinstriped the sides were the body moldings go (it is allot cheaper) for now. New american Racing wheels will be here on Monday, then I can get them mounted up. It's not for show but it's all mine.

My Dad came over and together we cleaned more gunk off my engine and disassembled enough stuff to realize the timing chain needs to be replaced. It's always fun working with my Dad, even if I'm 42 years old now.

I finally installed my new dash. Out with the old cut up one, in with the new factory one.

Still in teardown mode on a 67 SB I picked up a few weeks ago. I got the custom plywood floor ripped out of the bed to find some nice swiss cheese. It's amazing someone could let a bed get ruined like this.
