Close enough, I sure am over there a lot. Thanks man, I really do like your '64 as well. Would be cool to meet up sometime and check it out in person.

I know what you are talking about, and we used to be able to get it. But pretty much the way Cali works is if it works, they ban it. I'll have to check it out though, I remember selling it when I worked auto parts.

I've got a 3 day weekend coming up this weekend, so I'll be out there again for at least another full day. Gotta get that trans dropped out of the '80, then I can continue tearing it all apart. I may also take a stab at getting the engine all de-greased as well. Kinda wish I had a flatbed to haul it through the carwash with, lol.

slacker slacker lol j/k just use the bed of the ranger it will all wash out just fine . now get moving slacker , before it rains more lol

Yeah, yeah, I know. Life has been all kinds of upside down and backwards for me this year, and not very friendly to my automotive habits. The Camaro has sat more this year than any other in the 11 years I have owned it, including the year it was torn apart for most of. That being said, I did get a little bit of progress on the trucks over the weekend. I purchased a new transmission jack, and got the TH-350 out of the donor truck. I got quite a bit more junk pulled out of the cab, and got started trying to degrease the front end before disassembly (this thing is really disgusting). I also pushed the parts truck back outside and got the Firebird back inside where it belongs. I got a little bit of disassembly done on the '65 front end too; took the shocks and steering linkage off, and put some penetrating oil on the crossmember bolts so hopefully they come off easy when I try in the near future. No pictures though, so sorry for a boring update. But almost everyone on here has done what I am doing, and we all know what it looks like, nothing specially unique to my own build here. Until next time...

Yeah, stop reminding me of big piles of greasy dirt and black hands

[fryer1979]

I've been trying to use the soak with degreaser and spray off method to avoid some of the old black hand syndrome. I bought some of that "Purple Power" stuff, so far not impressed. I may take a short drive into Reno and pick up some Castrol Super Clean and be done with it.
