made some progress yesterday but working some issues like no dipstick and such. the headers with the jet hot coating, inside and out....they have that "hammered" finish....better know as pitting from being so rusty from before......some people pay for stuff like that and no that is not my blood on the floor..this time. also the engine is starting to come together. it started on the first try. it sounds nasty with the old muffles...cant wait to hear it with the flowmasters.

hope everybody is enjoying the weekend.

I was going to a car show, got about 10 miles and stopped for gas. Reached for my wallet, not there. Great! Decided to go home to get it, my starter wouldn't work. It wouldn't engage so I tapped a couple of time and got it started. So I came home and pulled it out. Decided to watch the Texans smack the Ravens.

Picked up my transmission today, Camaro 5spd with S10 tail shaft, has new bearings and seals. Picking up my crate engine Thursday.

Started installing the front suspension. Realized CPP sent me '71-87 ball joints and '63-70 spindles. Dealer not open today, so I'm in a holding pattern.

Sloppy.

Drove it up to Dubai for the Gulf Bike Week; went to enter my bike into the custom bike competition... my bike did not place. But I had a great drive and arrived in 'style' and had no truck problems thankfully. I had so many 'thumbs-up' and photos taken as I drove the 146 miles, the drive and many conversations I had about the truck were more enjoyable than the actual show!

Cheers!
