Just crossin' my fingers that the shop where it's at now won't drag this project out forever.

Done with my rattle can overhaul of a strong running 84' 4 bolt 350 and recently rebuilt TH400. I disassembled, cleaned, sandblasted as needed, primed, painted, and reassembled all front accessory drive. Added some valve covers that came off my grandpas stock car in the 70's and some Camaro headers I got dirt cheap. Installed in my 53 and did a valve adjustment that should get rid of the tappet ticking up near the #1cyl. Will do some wiring and hopefully fire it up by the weekend

Installed the carpet kit that's been boxed up for nearly 10 years!

Pulled the Kansas truck out of the carport, tracked down wiring problem, bought a battery, changed the oil, threw some antifreeze in her, cleaned gas tank (along with a lot of nastiness under seat) and hooked back up, threw $5 of gas in her and brought her back to life from who knows when. Actually ran but carb loading up and leaking like a sieve. I'll deal with that and a couple other minors and she'll be ready to flip so I can get to the real project.

Chopit, do you need a filler neck for that?

Thanks Jeff, but that actually is a filler neck, just no rubber seal and picture makes it look like hell, lol. (I actually have a couple more filler necks and even that old gas tank I got from you and never used.)

Got an old gas cap laying around?

Back to my five minutes a day work plan after over a year, feeling good getting back at it. Tonight welded up a few more seams on the drivers door.

At least you have your project in the garage where you can work in it even in tight quarters.

Good idea on the curtain, I've known a couple of guys who ruined the paint on the finished car because it got hit with the results of grinding on the project vehicle.

If it snows much more I'll be able to build a shop out of snow and work inside it.

I looked at the frame while trying to figure out why my tankless water heater was giving me an error code "11"

[FarmerSid]

Nice job. Simple when you have the tools!

[Layedoutsonoma91]

Not done by me, but a shop haha. But got my headliner and door panels made. Getting him to make me kick panels, and a panel behind the seat. also inner fenders and radiator cover too.

[FarmerSid]

Made up a rectangular frame that bolts directly to the floor where the original seat went, bolted the buick seats to the frame

[slck57]

Finished cleaning bottom and put in primer. My hands are tired....lol

[ChuckDriver]

Inventoried the Altman East Latch Kit I got from Yogi's. Hope to install it next weekend!

if that is your frame the cab is sitting on you want to beef up that crossmember that has a piece cut out.

I drove mine for the first time! Bought it a few months ago not running and finally got it going! Been 15 years since it had been on the road according to the previous owner...

Still several bugs to shake out but it drove! Also moved it to the garage so I can work on it more.
