I haven't worked on them yet. I pulled the alternator to rebuild it. I think I just need to adjust the brakes now. i'm trying to get these multiple projects done so I can get it driveable soon. So what if it is ugly as a mud fence, I want to drive my truck and use it while I do the body work.

Rich, yeah, that's about my luck. We'll figure something out. No worries. I still want it.
My two engines are moving at the speed of parts. The Saturn I can't seem to get a decent crank for, and the Toyota I get a few parts at a time. I got the crank two days ago, so I laid the crank and mic'd everything. Then we got the rod today that was bad and I got the piston switched over. Today we got the gaskets, but the head had two bad valves and I have to wait until Tuesday before we have them in the shop. So, I can put the rotating assembly together, but can't go any farther until I get the valves for the head. This is really upsetting to get stopped at every turn.

Wow is it nice to be home but my sleep schedule is all messed up, passed out at 9 pm last night, and woke up at 2:30 this morning. Almost went out into the shop and started working on something.
Going to start everything today and make it sure all the batteries are up. And might get to working on the Bronc.......
So good morning to all and have a great weekend.

Welcome home, Rich! I just bought a car up past you in Osceola. I think I'll be doing more business with that guy, so I should be able to swing by from time to time. Me and Cerp are gonna have all kinds of GM fun today.I'm gettin' ready to head out the door now. I just know I'm gonna forget something.
