What's Planned for the weekend? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**lock** · 10-08-2004, 09:37 PM

4 day weekend for me. Hope to get most of my cab repairs done!

Wootdog · 10-09-2004, 07:05 AM

Install the visors, headliner, carpet, and bolt in the new Bonneville bucket seats. And maybe replace the stereo in the other truck. Kerry

TugOwar · 10-09-2004, 10:18 AM

Yardwork planned for today (saturday), I have a tendency to let the grass go too long sometimes in favor of more fun jobs.

Later this afternoon probably more sanding and body work on my 68, thats one of those fun jobs! hehe

**BIG ORANGE** · 10-09-2004, 10:24 AM

I'm running a BIG Super Stock race tonight and thats the last race. After that I can finish the Harley truck and get it ready to cruise around in!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 10-09-2004, 11:30 AM

Gonna try and get the 69 all together (electrical suck's) and spend sunday on my 72 hopefully.....

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 10-09-2004, 11:31 AM

Are all the thread's actin up?????

**Nima** · 10-09-2004, 12:35 PM

I plan to change the intake, carburator and valve covers. It's a big job for me considering that I have to do all other things around the house too.

ronh72c10 · 10-09-2004, 02:30 PM

Started my thanksgiving long weekend early and dropped the engine and tranny in the burb this morning. Got four more days and hope to have it running by tuesday.

What's everybody else planning?

Ron

Putter · 10-09-2004, 02:32 PM

Thanksgiving??? Wow, that is a looooonnngggg weekend. I haven't gotten through the Columbus Day weekend yet. I like those blue covers.

ronh72c10 · 10-09-2004, 02:41 PM

Perhaps I should have said it's the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend.

Ron

crawdad · 10-09-2004, 02:44 PM

Oh my! That engine be looking good!

**COBALT** · 10-09-2004, 02:52 PM

Cool engine.

I have to set all of my floor tile in my bathroom I spent all week cutting. It's all laid out dry right now. Gotta number the pieces and put them in bags tonight. Tomorrow I break out the thinset...

Alexis · 10-09-2004, 03:00 PM

WoohOooo 3 day weekend for me!!!!kinda. This was a good week for me on the R & D side. I get to work on the ol' girl today some though, saturday and sunday put in a full 8 hours+ each day. But I got to leave monday open for my studys

On britney I should have the front side of the windshield finished by saturday midday and maybe finish the back side. Then sunday I can start cutting in the floors and go to town on that SOB.

later, lunch is early today

edit:

couple more

Been listening to metallica all day today.

shuttermutt · 10-09-2004, 03:00 PM

I'd like to:

Get a console from da-burb and install it
Get some other miscellaneous parts from da-burb and install them, too
Fix ALL of my instrument lighting
Fix the damn cigarette lighter (again)
Set the choke
Finish the fab work on my air cleaner adapter
Clean out the bed (winter's on its way)
Clean the wheels
Replace my under-dash duct work
See about getting my TH400 kickdown working

Mostly piddle and play stuff, but I'm sure to break something bigger along the way.

kxmotox247 · 10-09-2004, 03:20 PM

Covered Bridge Festival in Parke County, Indiana

My girlfriend and I go over there every year. The leaves are turning now and the hills are beautiful. I think there are 20+ bridges to go and see not to mention all of the crafts and goodies at the different stops.
It from 10/8 to 10/17.

kxmotox247 · 10-09-2004, 04:17 PM

GMC Paul's Shop is right there too! I may have to trick my girlfriend into stopping there. Ha!
We're not going to be able to take any of the truck since we're also going with another couple.

Whew! I thought I was missing a few days there:p

I plan on making use of this time to play some music,The guitars are getting jealous,and I have to get the amps in the truck,and retain my sanity all the while.

Did I mention I have 5 teenagers at home

It ain't no easy task,believe me!

Alvin · 10-09-2004, 04:29 PM

Today I took my cab back off the frame, and set it on a nifty cart I yanked out of a dumpster at work. Just had to cut some 2x4 to hold the cab up, and it works great.

And here's a short video showing how easy it rolls around:

Clicky

I think that's good for one day :p

cdowns · 10-09-2004, 05:47 PM

ronh72c10 · 10-09-2004, 09:30 PM

Did alot of powdercoating today(Saturday). Decided to put the core support in, and once I saw that decided to make the truck look like something and put the fenders on. I probably not use the fenders that came with the truck, they're pretty rough. I think I'll use the new set I bought for my wife's truck, don't tell her though.
