My turn to start the what did you get done this weekend thread
Ok, well, still working on getting the rearend swapped out on the Z28. I got the springs, brake lines and all misc stuff put back on and got it under the car, but the rear of the leaf springs doesnt' want to slide up into the shackes, so I'll bring home a rubber mallet from work tomorrow and have another go at it. It's nice to have a detailed part under the car that now I have to worry about scratching, because before I would have gotte the springs in with a BFH!

I worked on the Jimmy. The Holley was running really rich, so I replaced the fouled plugs. Then I adjusted the float level and idle mixture. It's an improvement, but I still have a little ways to go. When I started yesterday I knew NOTHING about carbs, so the biggest thing is that I am learning something

I started the 70 and drove it around the yard. Spent most of Saturday morning redoing the brakes on my daughter's 96 Bonneville. Looks like it will become the taxi for me to haul my her and 2 other girls back and forth to their school in Columbus (250 miles each way) every month. Did some yard work and a few other piddly things. I hope to spray a few more pieces for the 70 next weekend depending on this sauna weather.

Palf....250 miles...I'll assume you are talking about Cols GA huh? bummer.
I replaced all the fuel lines under mine, didan awsome job bending them if I do say so my self... moved the electric fuel pump down under the cab instead of mounted on the engine since they prefer to push instead of pull...and since I've been having fuel delivery problems anyways. Turns out, the fuel pump as enough power to shoot fuel pretty hard when you test it. (one hose in a pan of fuel, and another short section to spray it) however, when hooked to a real system, it just doesn't have the power to move it. Spoke to our NAPA representive nad he tells me they've had a rash of the inline carter pumps being returned. So I get to replace the pump tomorow. |

Drove alot (500 miles?)
Got the rear bumper, bed and tow hitch off of my donor truck. Picked up two new doors, a great bedside and an awesome tailgate (thanks Kurt). Architected (read day dreamed) how I can make the holes in a blazer tail gate work for a tonneau latching system. Cut 2 3" holes in the crossmember and welded in 3" OD pipe for exhaust passages. Got sucked into more driving (thanks Kurt) Hung out with Kurt and rode around in his nice green Blazer. Tomorrow is more work on the snortbed. Last edited by FormerMember; 08-21-2005 at 10:19 PM. |

Made a few changes
Removed the bed so we could start sanding and painting the frame.
Pulled the bumper and listed it so we can prepare for the roll pan. Started welding up the chrome holes on the passenger side of the truck. Repainted the dash gauge panel and reinstalled. Received our mesh to close up/hide the front openings in the grill. Awaiting arrival of our brake power booster and master cylinder. Shipped front chrome out to board member. Still have some bow ties to remove and C10 emblems if anyone needs some. 68 C10 |

I did some more bodywork on my '67 C-50, and bought weatherstripping for my '67 C-30. I also finally hauled home the '71 GMC C1500 that I recently bought.

I put me new accel HEI and plug wires in my 70. And I put the new window weather striping in it. Much nicer to ride in now.

I went to an airshow, paid $3 to walk inside a B-25 Mitchell bomber, and no-one died doing stunts..a good time.
