BTW, you may want to bring your fishing gear, although I have plenty, I have a pond full of Blue gills, some Bass and a handful of Walleyes.

Hey Red, you were rite, just ordered my rebuild kit for the saginaw pump(Advance Auto)
Got to use my NOS PS cap/dipstick, thanks billsbowtie

BTW, use anti-sieze(high nickel) whenever using steel fastners into alum., if it galls the threads you will never get it out!

Cool beans, glad you found it ok. I fly out in the morning for Seattle, 3 weeks of well deserved rest from here!! Gonna break the daughter's plate too and send her down the road with her new hubby!! Ya!!

Can I ask how much???

I am still thinking about the other covers- waiting for them to do the air cleaner so I can see how it looks. Two tone was (is) going to be block/intake the darker color and the three inserts from the valve covers and air cleaner done in the lighter color

How much? I don't know (yet)

Thanks, I should be outa there next week, but MSGross seems like he mite needa hand

I enjoy the metal work, but the painting and degreasing and all the other little odds and ends drive me crazy. I think it's time to hang up the tool belt and let the kids take over

Chevyman63 · 05-16-2008, 03:39 AM

Don't give it up yet...there are many more lessons for young Grasshoppers to learn.

Good to see you haven't forgotten your basement buddy.

And very cool to hear the mod to the lower 'A' pillar patch panel, it's tough to work with those smaller tabs.
How about getting the 4 holes pre punched too?

While you have Jon on the run, get him thinking about modifying the pick up truck inner rocker piece for blazers, get it shortened up with the 'B' pillar holes in it, that's be sweet!
(the longer ones that incorporate the 'A' pillar section) < very nice piece BTW.

Honestly, he may regret having me work on his pan, all I do all day is point out what pieces could use work, he then comes out takes pics and sends it to the manufactor. I think he will be glad to see me go

They are committed to making a quality product and act on my suggestions

Post up a pic. or part number n/s which pc. you mean, bin awhile since I worked on a blazer/jimmy

He's outta town, but I'll catch him n/w on the 4 holes

I bet he's fine with it, he'll end up selling the only parts the 'really' fit!

I checked the catalog and their calling it an "OUTER CAB FLR EXT"
Really great piece IMO.

OK, got it. I didn't use that pc., that's why I was unaware. You and I may be able to get the parts rite, but they're still goin' to complain about somethin'
