Not too bad, have a poker run to attend tonight after work. Going to try to take some pics so I can share them afterwards. Saturday I am going to throw my 4V intake and carb on the 79 while I wait on the rubber mount for the tcase to show up. Also have a buddy swingin by with my old Mustang so I can look at his new carb that he tried tuning by himself , should make things interesting. How about you?

Other than the welding, Just going to kick around the house. I'm hoping I can either get out and finish up stripping the 89, or, if not, I'll finish stripping the 67's cab, and get it power washed and ready for sandblasting.

Maybe I can find some time to paint the tcase, just tell my buddy he is SOL. I sold him the car but there wasn't a maintenance plan included, LOL!

I was going to do that for mine, but there are so many open holes that I am worried about too much water getting in.

These things seems to be sealed up pretty well, and I'm going to be taking it in to get checked out/rebuilt anyway.

My 205 has the opening for the speedo cable and the holes for bolting it to the C6 are open to the inside of the case so I would have to seal those up with duct tape. Hmmm....

I need to use one for mine, then throw bolts in the open holes and wash it after that.
