I hear that!!! My wife has a 66 mustang and I am the one who gets to maintain it. Damn F@^d's anyway.

Got the carpet, seat and belts in. Found the visors and can't understand how the paint on them is stil tacky???? Maybe the vinyl paint didn't take. Anyone have any suggestions???

Hottrucks · 08-07-2010, 09:14 AM

Well in a few I'm heading off to go play with the forein jobs...yep taking my truck to a low show you know the ones with about a million jap cars with fart cans...I'm thinking I need to take about 10 feet of chain and if anyone gives me poop I'll hook it to there rad support and show them the differance between 2 point nothing liters and 8.2....should be funny to see my truck there with all the compacts running 18's all I have to say is I thought you ment wide not tall!!!

I'll take some pics..like a bull in a China shop....lol

Sonicman · 08-07-2010, 10:45 PM

Put L6 back together. Oil pan was leaking. Fixed it. Valve cover is leaking. Worked over for a while. Well.....I have to get a new one, it's only 41 years old and worn out. Now have to wait for it. That's enough for today.

Hubscrub · 08-07-2010, 10:57 PM

primed bedside and tailgate

**70cst** · 08-07-2010, 11:03 PM

I brought the Circuit Rider home.

vectorit · 08-07-2010, 11:51 PM

Took her for her first mountain road trip today.
Pulled the entire road up to 5000' elevation in 4th gear, didn't even have to down shift for being behind a couple slow movers!

I was thrilled with how my baby handled!
I could also tell she was back in her element, being that she spent most of her life in the mountain roads.

marks1972 · 08-08-2010, 12:38 AM

Replaced tailgate bushings and adjusted the strikers so it would quit rattling, then I replaced the rear stabilizer bushings. Lost the rattling and squiking going down the road. Didn't realize how loud it all was. Then went to a local Cruz in. All and all it was a good day.

rebel01 · 08-08-2010, 12:45 AM

Swapped old Holley out for a 1406 Edelbrock. Whole new truck!

OhioDan · 08-08-2010, 06:16 AM

Getting up the gumption to go out in the garage and wipe the dust off it from the Ohio Mini-meet yesterday. Great time.Wish everyone could've been there. Look in Ohio Mini- meet post for pics.

**Hart_Rod** · 08-08-2010, 08:42 AM

Mowed some grass....

....and had the winshield installed in the Burb.

67Slider · 08-08-2010, 07:40 PM

Yesterday I charged the battery, put 4 gallons of gas in the new tank and was thinking about putting the interior back together today. WAS going to start her for the first time in two months. Went in the garage this morning and smelled gas. Looked underneath my driver side cab corner and saw a puddle of gas. Put my hand under there and sure enough a small bubble of paint on the back of my gas tank. Needless to say I emtied the tank, removed seat, tank and carpet. Luckily I had the old tank still, so I painted it to match, and put it back in. Put some gas in it about 10 minutes agao and will put the seat in after dinner. I may even get to start her up today. A man can dream....

Jwill41 · 08-08-2010, 08:22 PM

added the dome light switch to the 3rd door so now my alarm works on all 3 doors. Next will be the hood and lift gate. Also got the gas struts installed on the lift gate. They are a little too strong but hopefull they will get easier over time. I even fired up the 67 today trying to get motivated enough to work on it a little.

Hubscrub · 08-08-2010, 08:25 PM

took out some unused wires to clean the underhood up

67Slider · 08-08-2010, 09:41 PM

Persistence Pays Off!!! Got her fired up and let her run. Temp gauge isn't working but it has to be wiring. Put in a new sending unit when I had the engine out. Always something! Drove her back into the garage. It was a good day![IMG]

Secret Squirrel · 08-08-2010, 10:03 PM

Blew the trans ... Oh Yeah, time for an upgrade!

07SSSC · 08-08-2010, 10:10 PM

Nothin, done with my truck for a while 'til something else goes wrong/breaks/etc, the whole never ending battle thing sucks, but I love it anyways.

Now it's on to installing the 350 into my '84 Trans Am. Gotta get some gaskets, clean up some wiring and drop it in. Should have a new intake showing up from Summit tomorrow for it too. Guess I'm done with this thread for a while.

willys72fleetside · 08-08-2010, 10:24 PM

Worked on getting the right door ready for primer.

rondog4416 · 08-08-2010, 10:57 PM

i got new one piece door windows from Brothers they going to look great !! worked on center console it will be ready to go in truck in about 2 weeks hopefully. been a great weedend so far. life is good!!

rsavage · 08-09-2010, 06:36 AM

Drove the Burb to a car show/swap meet in Warsaw NY Sunday morning. Didn't find anything I had to have. Pleasant drive of about 35 miles each way through rolling hills. Burb is rattle-less now with all new door and window seals. Had to get back home by noon to go to a wedding reception.

myoldchevytruck · 08-09-2010, 08:16 AM

Bought a factory tach in Carlisle back in April. Finally assembled everything.

nitrofn · 08-09-2010, 08:54 AM

Made a spacer for the snout on blower.! It was way to hot but got it done . drove it to Spring Cypress Sat night.

mjensen · 08-09-2010, 10:45 AM

Got my passenger side rocker welded/ground/temporarily primed. Now on to the scary part that people will be able to see...the cab corner...
