So, you get anything done this weekend?
 

Got a few things done on the 70. Mostly just sanding. It gets slow when you have get into the details area. Hopefully in a few weeks I get shoot some primer on it and see where we go from there.

Couple friends acquired a new wheels. The one is a 58 Delray. 75K original miles. Real nice shape. I wish I had looked at it several months ago when it was mentioned being for sale. Original paint and she fired up after cleaning out the 15 year old gas.

Board member EdB also go a new toy for his stable. 93 C4 Vette.

So I drolled some this weekend and actually spent some time on my truck. How about you folks?

Pulled it out of the garage and left it running while I spent about twenty minutes cleaning out the garage. I had too many boxes stacked around it and it was starting to make me nervous.

Hey roach, use the 73-87 454 mounts . It's easy and they are much sturdier. JMHO, Dean

Put my interior together. I had torn my brand new seat cover and I fixed it with the $10.00 vinyl repair kit. After dying the seat to match the rest on the interior, most will never know. I also broke the second windshield I tried to put in. Time for the professionals to try now.

Pulled mine out of the garage, cleaned the garage. Finished cleaning the frame rails, rust convertered them, cut off my shock mounts, started it up made sure the tranny still worked. Found out I have zero, nada, 0, no, and I mean NO brakes, when does it end. But I did get one of my seats back!

Got my youngest son's '71 4X4 running after 14 years of sitting. Rebuilt the carb, new fuel pump, new power steering pump, belts, hoses, and a nearly new 4 core rad. it fired right up, idled well and hardly smoked at all. Now the real work begins, brakes, interior, lift kit, cab mounts, rocker panel.....

Re: So, you get anything done this weekend?
 

Loaded the 64 Biscayne on the trailer and took it to the muffler man and had a set of Flowmasters installed , it hasn't been off the property for 5 years , so cleaned the shop while it was gone . The neighbors seem a little happier now that it has mufflers , lol , funny it doesn't sound much quieter in the car . Also while it was on the trailer i weighed it at the local Cenex dealer , 2800 lbs with no hood or frt bumper or interior , hoping to lose another 100 lbs when i switch the Cragar ss to Super Tricks , maybe . I am so pumped , i may make a run down the strip , still 4 weekends left before they close down for winter . Not 67 - 72 stuff , but it's what i did .
Later ............................................. 409 .
