OK, had to move just about everything out there to get the old motor & tranny on my truck, he pulled the coil packs off before it went off to the scrap yard.While he was gone I moved just about everything out there again, to try & set up for the install He's now fighting with 4 broken off bolts...

Holy crap, I get out there this afternoon & he's got 1/2 the truck apart to get to some of the stuff underneath.Once loose we almost made it, but thr hoist got wedged on the last 2" of firewallDropped it & reset the chains, finally got it to clear Almost there Every inch we go more wires have...

Creative work arounds are part of this hobby, did you finally figure out the spreader bar? I can't think of any for the E-brake cable, maybe weld another hunk of metal in the right place, looks like room to clear the spring bolt?

Tools are building up, he misses his garage where everything was right there, working here has got to be frustrating for him, but heck at least I give him a place to do it!So what would you rather work on this spaghetti Or a proper engine bay!

I'll give him the suggestion, what happens next is up to him, I wasn't around today, but he has it jacked up now, assume he started loosening stuff on the bottom?

He's worried that with the tranny on, trying not to seperate it's too much for the little bolts?

Holy crap, He spent a good part of the day just getting the intake manifold off that thing, still trying to figure where to hook up the chains to the pull the motor, there's bolt holes in the back of the heads if he can get to them! He was thinking of selling the motor, but with all the work...

The shops back in action, Marks tranny started slipping & He ended up buying a motor with less milage & the trannyHis idea was to pull the cross member so he could pull it out the front with hood onGot that out but it was a struggle never go back without at least loosening the fenders, So last...

Found a good use for all that 1/4" tape I got by mistake, wanted to see what it would look like if I extended my stripe all the way to the front I actually like the green outline, so If I ever get bored enough to do this, I will buy green pinstriping tape & outline it too!

That I would assume, With 3 sons my cars were always mid (81 malibue) when the first was born & then the 87 caprice , all full size after that. They never would have fit in the cuda after they were 11 or 12, all 6 footers, all bigger than me & I'm 6'1" Even during the gas crunch I had the 66...

Ahhhh, a VW, never would have thought that, my brother had a beetle back in the 70's

Now you lost me what's a GTI?

Not that I followed what's out there these days, probably wouldn't think much of a camaro or mustang but that sounds good, get some better pics, get this old man up to date!

Not my problem anymore, I think this was my last car, at 73 I'm afraid of leaving a half done pile-o- parts back there for my kids to deal with when I kick the bucket. When I get bored I think about a duster, prices not in the stratosphere yet, just to give me something extra to keep me busy...

Holy schmoley , I though I paid way too much when I bought the whole set for 800ish. which to my pleasant surprise were never in a car. 1 pc over 400............. 288-VRH Mopar 1970 E-Body Passenger Side A/C Vent

They do clog up easy, my strainer was just a little too big, I shot a lot of chewed up leaves thru when I was blasting, they didn't seem to clog things up, I did notice my pick up hose would load up & stop things, if I kept it fairly straight with no dips in it, it worked well?

Took her out for the first ride yesterday, all went well no glitches I could pick up. Ran into another car guy, the hometown show never got rescheduled last year, maybe she'll make a show this year?

Well done now lets hope they send the right ones!!!

That's nuts, but at least they were small items, shippings gone nuts in the last few years, I buy & sell a lot of model trains, I was shipping 20+ pounds of tools to Jass for 8 or 9 bucks, now a 3lb box of trains is 13 or 14 for the same distance. So a full bearing set for 73 & just the seals...

Used them some, also a lot of mancini racing, don't know how much price checking I did but they had what I needed & seemed reasonable ?
