Put new wiper arms and blade assemblies on The Tan, Saturday.

The spindle in front of the driver was really bent, causing the geometry and pressure of that blade to be way off. Started to use pliers to bend it back - but chickened out. Ended up using a socket and a 1/2 inch drive ratchet to put over the drive head and coax it back to a normal attitude.

It'll be nice to be able to drive in the rain again.

I didn't do anything to the 64 today, but I did get robbed at 4 this morning. someone broke into my truck and stole my stereo stuff. I think they tried to still the truck because the ignition was jacked up.

markeb01 · 01-04-2010, 02:43 PM

Oh man that sucks. Had the same thing happen to me once while I was at work. Thief even stole my lunch!

*BGRAFX* · 01-04-2010, 02:48 PM

Good Luck getting truck back! That's not a good way to start new year.

NFG, Paul. Hate to hear that. I can certainly relate.

ruffrida2005 · 01-04-2010, 10:40 PM

yeah it sucks, they didn't steal the truck but I think they might have tried. I couldn't get the key to turn for like 5 minutes. do yall know if the alarm systems kill the ignition? They stole our phone records and my wife was getting text messages from someone from houston sending her nude pics and perverted.

198plus · 01-04-2010, 11:22 PM

That's great...........I would be excited too !!!!

I tried to get my list together and price everything I would need to get it converted to a auto.

Thought about it

then posted the truck on ebay. I love the truck but if a member of the family is unable physically to drive it then we need to get something with a auto.

That's a crime against the people of Texas - call the state police and file a report - don't depend on local law enforcement. If you send the state an e-mail it goes on the permanent record and they won't ignore it.

blackmopar · 01-05-2010, 02:04 PM

picked up the motor from my buddies last night - had a few xmas goodies from the OL lady and she talked me into having someone help to get the project moving along since ive got plenty left to do (470lift stick, springs, double roller, new intake and hei dizzy) cool little surprise was to see it is actuallya 4bolt, so maybe the PO wasnt bullsh1tting about it being from a vette donor - who knows
Will be painting her and bolting the beauty parts on this weekend and hopefully finishing battery relocation and getting started on wiring

ruffrida2005 · 01-05-2010, 07:27 PM

Thanks Mac I'll do that.

Doogie · 01-05-2010, 07:43 PM

ravens65 · 01-05-2010, 07:51 PM

monolith · 01-05-2010, 09:51 PM

Installed a seat cover, replaced all 4 shocks on the 64, found and fixed a vacuum leak, took it for a joyride around the block, bounce free! These 305 v6's have some GUTS!

MXmaniac · 01-06-2010, 10:17 PM

Finished installing my rear manual-fill bags.
