Whatcha git dun this weekend?

[hgs_notes]

I cleaned off the hood, moved the engine and stand out of the way, opened the garage door and drove it for probably the last time this calender year. It was a beautiful day today, with a poor forecast coming.

All the hard work cleaning the dust and paint overspray (from house doors, not the truck, unfortunately) from the windows, was well worth it. I took my 10 year old boy (future owner) for a nice loud ride.

A beautiful day indeed.

I finally figured out what i am going to do as a brace for the rear shockwaves. I was having a hard time trying to think of a cool way to mount the top of the shockwaves. Now i just have to make 2 small brakets and the rear end is done .

Well on Friday I lifted out the stock 350 and transmission. I am now cleaning up the wheel wells and other such things, Sanding is the main thing, getting them ready for paint. Then hopefully in a couple of weeks I will be able to drop in my brand new transmission along with my 383 stroker Im stoked, Its hopped up and I cant wait!!

Saturday I changed out the last of the original power window regulator/motor setups in the wife's Bonneville. Piece of &^$% design andpain to get at. I also touched up, what I could, the Dodge's paint where someone had keyed it. Did somemore sanding on the 70.
Sunday, I played hotwheels and Legos with the son.

[Southedisto]

Finished my passenger floor, and installed the rocker box.

I pulled the donor engine/trans out along with the associated wiring harness and moved the freshly cleaned frame for the '70 back in the garage.

Good morning everyone. First I installed new idler and pitman arms on my 93 gmc. Then I replaced the seals on the rear axels along with new breaks in the back. And to finish on Sunday I fixed the blower on the AC and got it aliened.

Got some painting done. Core support, grille, & splash pan. Don't laugh at my paint booth......

Also bagged (pun intended) an Air Ride setup for $600. It's off of an El Camino but hopefully I can make it work on the '70. One of the front bags has a hole in it so I will have to replace it, other than that it's in good shape. The guy didn't like the ride with them on.

It's supposed to be 70º here today and a high of 42º tomorrow.... Welcome to Iowa..

Lifted the cab off it's dolly with my buddies service truck crane, undercoated it with Eastwoods rubberized undercoating, and then sat it down on my freshly painted chassis. I had recently installed 2 1/2 inch dropped spindles and 4 inch lowering leaves. I really like the way it's sittin'. Looks good with the RamJet engine. Soon as I get the funds, I'll be ready to order a FCG gas tank. Oh ya, also took the Studebaker for one last drive for the year. I did get waves and smiles from others I didn't know. Classic trucks makes people smile!

Today rather than the weekend, got the patch at the bottom of the passenger door pillar welded in and ground down. Treated it with rust convertor. Also wire wheeled the passenger floor and treated that too ready to paint. Tomorrow I'll primer the pillar and get the door ready to go back on so's I can fit the outer rocker.
