For me most of the day will be spent on
1.Tubbing a 71 Z 28 Camaro replace the floorboards then start
2.Installing a 4link coil over set-up and 3.73 narrowed rear end with 18" wide M/T street slicks
3.If there's time and I have energy left start the mocking up of a winch plate/front end receiver front tube bumper
4.OH yea Holiday Monday Get Steel for winch plate/front receiver tube bumper

Well did not get as much done as I hoped but did get the rear section cut out on Camaro Lots of pictures for your enjoyment the Chevy II or 63 Nova as most call them is my next project to finish the tires are going on it and so you get an idea of what she will look like when done. The camaro will also sport a set of tire just like the Nova I did get a picture of the inside of the Nova to show what the camaro will have done to it when finished. It will also sport a narrowed rear end with 3.73/4.56 gears not sure yet but both will be 5 speeds not really for drag racing so much as just good ol street rodding. NOW ON TO THE PICTURES

Working 15 hours a day sat/sun, hopefully making money driving my battery van around from 7am to 10pm. YAY!

If I wasnt working I would be at the shop installing a new lower control arm and steering knuckle thingy that I bent and only found out about b/c I tried to get my T100 aligned and they said something was borked.. Lets hope its only those two parts and not more of the IFS.

Unfortunately not anything vehicle related. I am ripping out some ductwork that a previous owner thought was great. Getting a new furnace monday, so need to rip this crap out in prep for the new ducts....
Never thought that a person could Screw up the use of duct tape so bad...I will be reinforcing the beam with some 2x10 to help with the frigging holes he cut...


This gem explains the no heat to two bedrooms...thanks Mr. home inspector..

Dude, I didn't know you used to live in Co. Nice. Anyways, I took out the back seat and carpet because they kept getting trashed when it rained. I had the downey bikini all summer. I started to clean them real good and they were clean and the fronts were not, so since I didn't have enough chit to do, I took that stuff out the clean it. Haha.. Oh well. Where are they selling the Grabbers for $90? What size? Ya dude, I am totally ready to be done w/this paint. We actually just shot it tonight vs tomo. Ck my thread for the pics. I will take some more tomo and after I wetsand and buff. The color changed AGAIN. I like it more this time though. It's been quite an experience.

Well, I'm having no luck with this starter.....the bolts are so incredibly tight, and I don't have any air tools.

I'm going to set the timing on my truck, as well as the idle speed.
I changed out some ignition components, so I figure I'll double check
