What did you get done? Memorial day edition.

Well let's see. I got the new Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS carb installed last week. Had to redo my AN stainless braided hose. Had to order the dual fuel inlet for the carb. Got all the fuel line stuff taken care of. Midway through all this I decided to put stainless braided hoses on the power steering. Waiting on a fitting to get here to finish that up. Along with the fitting is some other very nice shiny pieces to be shown at a later date. Some will like them, some won't.

I have been working on misc things for a few days. Today I changed the oil and swapped out the tranny pan I have had fixed up for awhile. I had a fitting brazed in the old one for the temp gauge and it has always leaked a little. So, a long time ago I brazed in another one myself and it didn't leak. Had to fix a driveshaft leak at the weep hole. Got tired of it always leaking decided to solder the weep hole up and get rid of the leak once and for all.

Other stuff was spent removing all the emblems, hood ornament, drip rails, mirrors etc. to get ready for primer. I plan on getting guy who lives right up the road from me to do some body work and put it in primer for me. We shall see how that turns out. Got my wheels and tires off and the truck sitting on jack stands right now. I have got to spend a few hours polishing up the TTII's. Can't wait for that. I love polished billet but dang, that stuff ain't made for a lazy man.

Feels good to finally be able to add something to one of these threads.

Dang Mike, it sounds like you got a lot of stuff going on there buddy. You might want to consider one of those Powerball kits. I just saw a recent thread on how well they did an old set of Eagle wheels in GD. I went looking for one today but couldn't find one.

in my experience and with professional details i'm friends with, the powerball blows pretty hard.

its not that the powerball doesnt work, its just the powerball polish sucks. i couldnt get it to make a dent in my wheels.
my friend owns a mobile detailing business and he uses flits polish and i've seen first hand how well that stuff works for him.


oh, and i'm doing a full restore/upgrade on the interior
everything i've wanted done inside, will be done.
<--- that face because it will be expensive
