i am really starting to hate working on f'n cars. My car is giving me the finger trying to get the heli-coils in the intake to bolt the new carb down. i'll pick back up tonight and try it again.....

Jim, hope the carb fixes your issues. And heli-coiling ain't so bad, Try doing it for a glow plug in a Sprinter van!!! LMAO!!
Jenn, nice plates! Someday I'll get some made too.
Spent most of this weekend working or at the gun club working. Then coming home and having to do some work on the truck and some side jobs. Found time to cut the lawn Saturday, looking at it right now you wouldn't have thought so! So guess what I have to do tomorrow night!
oh my god I can imagine! I've seen the engine bay on those things, what a nightmare!
lemme try posting the pics again because apparently I can't post stuff anymore :P(for you non facebookers..)

Dave the tool for the heli-coil was f'd up and that is why they would not screw in. the carb is sitting in place i need the new brackets to get here to finish it. some of the NYMCC are coming to Hotel Squizz tomorrow and going to the Dorman car show on Saturday.
have a good weekend all as this is my Friday

Ever have one of those Mondays when you really wish you never got out of bed?
That was my day! Started out having to do the idiots left overs since he didn't come in. King pins in a Isuzu w-370! Glow plugs and a module in a Sprinter Van, then an easy job, a radiator in a Intrigue, then back to another Sprinter Van for an AC repair. Tomorrow doesn't look much easier!

Today wasn't much better, I hit the wall. Literally!!! I pulled a cube van into the shop and caught the corner of the entrance way. No damage to the cube van, but the overhang took a beating. I'm sure I'll hear about it in the morning.
Tomorrow starts my 12 hour shifts for the Summer. I'm tired of it already. LOL!

pretty damn good weekend. the beer festival was great as usual. even with the rain. we got home and all went out to dinner. then home and watched tv for a few hours. then Sunday i fixed the trans leak on the 90 K1500 and looked at the speedo issue on my 87 monte. i fixed the garden hose. made a brace for the grill tray. renumbered the mailbox. Franky cleaned the gutters for me. fixed a board on the front porch and a few other things. squeezed a ride in the monte. it was only a couple of miles. then grilled chicken for dinner for the family. we watched a movie and relaxed for a few hours.

started putting mine back together last night. Got the passenger side control arm and spring on. Put the driver side together then realized the control arm was upside down. Called it quits, back to it this weekend.
Another week has ended!!! About damn time too! Managed to get the majority of the underside of the SS repainted, still need to order a Brake power booster and a master cylinder. Hopefully I can get one this weekend.
Tomorrow, Working at the gun club, and Sunday Taking Diana's Mother to the casino for lunch and some gambling. Have a great weekend everyone!!

i drove my car for a bit Friday night other then that it sat all weekend. had friends over Saturday for dinner. then Sunday i got a text from one of my brothers to help him build his firewood shed. so i spent hrs over there helping him. We did 16 sheets of 4x8 exterior wood siding on it. and 14 sheets of 7/16 OSB 4x8 sheets on the inside. overkill for firewood 24' long 5' deep and 8' high in the front sloped to 7' in the rear. it turned out great. then went home and ate dinner and watched a movie with the family.

got another detail today...hoping for future details from this guy :) Its a brand new boat(only 2 years old) that has been maintained, guy just wanted a quick waxing on it before its put in the water. He said he's going to be a future customer if I do a good job, he has two sweet corvettes sitting in his garage that need cleaning & one heck of a mercedes wohoo!
Managed to get the driver's side wheel well out. started cleaning and painting. Have to work late tomorrow, but maybe Friday I can get the new Master Cylinder and power booster installed. This weekend is going to be busy with yard duty. Hoping to rebuild the waterfall in the pond.
I need more time in the day!! I want to drive my car!!!

Well, the rain set me back, Matt didn't get to paint the power booster last night and the weather wasn't any better tonight. Maybe it will be ready by Monday. So Tuesday night I can get some progress done. Long weekend of yard work to do. Tomorrow, one of the guys from work is coming over to tint the windows in the Jeep.
Have a great weekend everyone!!

Got the lawn cut, trim done, bushes trimmed, repair the fence, tore apart and rebuilt the waterfall for the pond, then cleaned the pond and the landscaping, cleaned the patio and brought out the furniture, fixed the grill and managed to wash the black Monte. Taking a break before family comes over for dinner. I'm going to have to go back to work to relax!!!

I got Brakes!!! Finally replaced the master cylinder and power booster tonight. Bleed the system and then decided to call it a night since I was already aggravated. Tomorrow I should be able to get the inner fenderwell back in and then I can start detailing it. 2 weeks before we leave and I'm no where near ready!!!

Frank, Tim, My son, his friend Cam and I are going to the Dale Earnhardt Chevy show on the 14th. I'm not even close to ready! Guess I will be pulling some late nights next week.
Matt, enjoy the days off! I know you don't get them very often.

12 days to go!! Man I hustled this weekend on the cars!! The entire underside has been repainted, engine bay repainted, reassembled the inner fender wells, cleaned up the wiring and detailed under the hood, detailed the trunk, vacuumed the interior and got the whole car gone over with cleaner wax. Also detailed the engine bay in Matt's car and created a wiring harness for his center console. Tomorrow night I have a gun club meeting so Tuesday it will be the second coat of wax time! Hopefully the wing snut for my air cleaner will show up so I can get the engine bay finished and adjust the carb.
