Re: What did you get done 5/23/10 B&D last rodeo edition
pulled the old motor out of the 79 and seperated the 350 trans from the engine to get ready to rebuild it for the 83. Hopefully rebuild that next weekend and then get the injected 350 and the 350trans married together painted and close to being dropped in. Also looked into phantom grilles and new front fenders. Oh and went to a joke of a car show saturday morning where a rusted out 60's mustang beat a bunch of nice restores including a mint Charger, mint 50's truck and a nice 65 impala. Show was at a nursing home and the lady that won worked at the nursing home and the only people to win lived in the town or one town over.........hmmmm interesting.

Re: What did you get done 5/23/10 B&D last rodeo edition
Played with my Chevelle this weekend. I've been wanting to drop it a little and plan on installing drop spindles for the front and lowering springs in the rear. Since I have some spare springs, I whacked 2 coils off the front springs and one in the rear. The cutting wheel gave me a 3" drop in the front and an inch and a half in the rear. I like the stance so I guess I'll get online and order some parts.

Re: What did you get done 5/23/10 B&D last rodeo edition
Rebuilt the front end on my 87. Had the rotors turned, new calipers, new pads, new outer tie rods, new upper and lower ball joints. Seems it was about 30 trips to O'reillys. I swear I am about to stop using them despite them being next door to my shop. Had a misboxed tie rod (as a left in a right box), misboxed ball joint (was a cheap house brand in a moog box), one of the reman calipers had the bleeder cross threaded (could not even tap it out). Just seemed every time we turned around something was wrong or a new and broken thing. Advanced Auto here we come.
Started stripping down the 'burban I bought for parts. Me and my 7 year old just about got the stuff from the interior I want, just got both front doors to strip down now. I should have gotten some photos of my 7 year old boy, he used the cordless impact a few times, but it was too heavy. He then wanted to use the 3/8 air impact since it was lighter, used it a few times and all of a sudden "his turn was over, it was my turn", lol. He spent the rest of the time in the bed of my truck removing screws that hold the bedliner in. I am anxious to see what it looks like underneath honestly. The liner has been in the truck since it was new. Under the tailgate protector looks pretty good, only scratches are from little things that worked their way underneath it. |

Re: What did you get done 5/23/10 B&D last rodeo edition
Got a couple layers of fatmat installed in the blazer, word of advise though, dont expect it to lay out perfect with the help of a 1 and 5 year old ha ha. Great weekend!! progress is slooooow but having a good time. With any luck it should be ready for paint after next weekend though.
