Tracked down an electrical problem in the tail light circuit & fixed it. No more blown fuses, at least for a while.

Just finished hand waxing the burb.
Still need to go and do the roof though.

67Slider · 06-03-2010, 06:36 PM

My Daughter, Hanna and I removed the radiator, battery tray, grill support and a bunch of hoses.

I put on new header gaskets and went for a criuse.

spavinaw · 06-03-2010, 08:58 PM

I bought new door mirrors and weather stripping. Put the mirrors on. Didnt realize I needed adhesive to make the weather stripping stay in place.

Hubscrub · 06-03-2010, 09:00 PM

painted wife's rad. support yesterday, painted hood hinges today and fixed heater box come off the hook i had it on a made a quarter size hole in it after i had it together and painted

**americanmusc1e** · 06-03-2010, 11:00 PM

checked timing and pulled some vacuum advance timing and....

CRIED.... because there was water all over my carpet

I have a leak under my cowl.........I have to take the whole frontend off and more to fix it........I had it apart last year when I had the fenders off and I neglected to fix it

ERASER5 · 06-03-2010, 11:10 PM

I finally installed my hitch. It tucks a little deep under the bumper, but it is solid. Wired and ready to go. Now if only the engine ran...

68GMCCustom · 06-03-2010, 11:32 PM

if you take off the cowl panel and look down in the cowling air vent area directly over where the heater core is you'll find it (I hope that makes sense)

I also have these spots on both sides in the channel under the hood-to-cowl seal, and directly beside the other one

Lippyp · 06-04-2010, 12:31 PM

Started her up, listened to the misfire, realised I have more work to do than I thought to get her back on the road and then put the cover back on!

Scott Webster · 06-04-2010, 07:12 PM

Got the axle in. Shocks and adjustable panhard bar too. Still need to to the brake lines, driveshaft.

68GMCCustom · 06-04-2010, 07:33 PM

...pulled the motor and trans...along with the front steering and front coils.

vectorit · 06-04-2010, 07:37 PM

Those are about the size of Rhode Island!

Well at least it feels that way when you are doing one.

bjinx · 06-05-2010, 12:31 AM

Changed the oil, fuel fliter and PCV valve. Finally made a spacer to raise the tranmission up and get the drivers side header pipe off of the transmission crossmember. A few more things to check tomorrow, preparing for about a 250 mile trip Sunday to Billet Proof Show in Giddings, Tx.

T/C · 06-05-2010, 12:50 AM

Painted my steering column my interior is now done other then finishing the wiring in the dash!

Thanks for understanding!

I was thinking people would be saying to themselves: What, wax a roof? what so tough about that!

yea, doing a burb with rubbing compound is like doing 3 or 4 pick ups! Plus, with my burb I need to use a ladder to do everything from the hood up. I know

but after wards - so nice!
