Another OLD BLUE Build Thread - 71 Chevy

Got'er all back together and filled up. Hasn't leaked a drop for 5 days now


Next step is to spend an hour or so powerwashing the driveway so I don't get kilt by the wife

Turned the burban, made some money, life goes on. That is why I usually don't post the short term side projects.




Well I shoulda known... sure enough the trans is leaking again, though not even close to what it was. Just a couple of drips this time, not full exxon style. There are still 1 or two paper gaskets that I haven't touched yet, I didn't spend enough time looking at it today to figure out where it is coming from now.

So I've been talking about a go-pro or something to get you guys some video. I'm to cheap to go drop coin on one, so I'm improvising.

Idea #1



While I was messing around with the magnet, I started thinking I needed it closer to the door so I could hit the record button easier. Then I remembered the twenty mirror holes in each of my doors, luckily some of them were threaded.





And just because I thought it was a cool picture...


Started messing around with the front wheel wells. They are a lil' rusty and will definitely need some trimming but I am going to put them back in. It is a PITA to clean out the engine bay...

Got to try out the camera mount on Sunday which worked surprisingly well. I accidentally left the camera on and taped over 30 minutes in one segment. Unfortunately most of it was us rigging my battery back in after it fell out and broke off both my battery terminals. A better battery mount is on my "to do" list now.
