Re: What did you do to your truck today?
It was a nice weekend here in NJ so I am getting it ready for summer.rebuilding the front end with new stuff 2.5 drop spindles ,cut the springs (for now).pulled off control arms to sand blast and paint,new ball joints, sway bar bushings,tie rods ,inner and outers,new calipers ,pads ,rotors.I hope we have a nice weekend next week so I can start to put it back together again.need to pay for my spindles and see when they come in but it look's like I have a **** load of stuff to do before I'm ready for them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Fellas,
Well this week end we finally got my Ole' One Bad Mamma Jamma '62 off the jack stands and blew off the dust and swatted some bats away.... We started to kill some cancer in a few areas. Figured it would be easier to take the windshield out....  I will update my Build Thread soon..... But I worked 67 hours last week and probably do the same this week. Little money....little time.... Well here is what we did so far: I will post a few for now ,cuz I'm wore slap out and tired. Take a gander: Thanks, One Bad Mamma Jamma

Took a load of grass clippings and tree branches to the dumps, giving me an excuse to wash the truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Nearly got the engine wiring harness completed. Everything under the hood is done now I just need to finish up the portion that runs under the dash to the PCM. I'll try to take pictures later this week. I also made mounts for the 95 camaro radiator and the new fuse and relay panel.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
You have to slide the engine forward to get the valve cover off or is there enough room?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
New plugs and wires....throttle response and engine idle are waaaay better than before. Although now Im hearing a slight "electric" ticking sound...very faint but its there, could the plugs not be gapped properly? OR could I just be paranoid and my nasty exhaust leak playing with my ears.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
The painted call me and asked me to stop by and sign off on the wet sanding he did. I've never seen the process and am impressed of just how glass smooth it makes the primer.
