Great news Rich! You must be a little excited?

 

RC and Rich. Great news for you both! Now all I gotta do is get working on uncle Jesse's truck. I'm going to try to pick up the engine tomorrow, but no promises.

I got a lot of the issues fixed with a '94 Camaro I've been working on. It has "clueless kid" written all over it. Someone took the steering column apart and didn't use all the pieces when they put it back together. I had to get creative with the high beam switch. That part was missing. Well, the switch was there, but the linkage was missing. Instead of hunting down another column, it now has a floor dimmer switch. What the hey, it works!

 

good morning missouri.. i am trying to plan my day.. the block i have at the machine shop is done i would like to go get it but i already had plans for today so not sure what i should do.

 

well i have to make some adapters for my exhaust anyway so i am heading toward alans house.. i can use a day away from the hot shop anyway..

 

Good morning all. We got Yello's fuel injection issues ironed out yesterday and GSXR1000 parts primered. Today it's anyone's guess what we'll get done.

 

The rest of my shop's floor is clear and ready to be torn out.

 

That's great Dave!

 

With all the issues I had with my turn signal switch, I understand your pain!

 

i had a good day.. didnt do a thing but ride around in the a/c then sit back and watch alan work... he is probably cussing me about now.. i got home and was getting stuff outta the truck, and i seen there was a box of gaskets for a fe block sitting there...... alan if you need me to i can run them back over to ya tomorrow.... when it cools off a little i am going to go out and strip down a small block ford engine and see if there are a usable goodies in it.........

 

Now the old floor is all ripped up and waiting to be hauled out. I went out there with Jesse (2nd oldest) to start pulling it up and that goober took a claw hammer in each hand and went to town. In less than 30 minutes he was done and that included a water break.

It was the first time I just stood back in awe and watched my kid go to town.

 

good news dave... all those years of feeding and clothing em is finally paying off.....

 

BWAHAHAHAHA!

 

well i got the heads off that marine engine.. it is not hard to see how the water got into the pan.. #4 cyl. only had half a sleeve..the rest is in pieces in the water jacket.. the heads are just the common 78 D8OE-AB with 69CC 1.78 I .45 E just like the other sets i have.. i will have to do some cleaning to see if it has overbore pistons.. might go out and strip the bottom end later to-nite if i am able...

 

Evening All!

RC. Thanks again for the help today. That was really unexpected but very much appreciated.

Jeff. Did we pass you on Hwy 14 around 2030 tonight? I took a night off after sweating my cookies off today so Tiff and I could go out to dinner.

Dave and Chip. You guys sound like you're getting it done. I need to make some headway at my shop. I have to do some welding under the car lot's trailer tomorrow morning. Then get Ka'Bluey's grill and hood swapped out back to the stuff Bob had in it. Then I want to get rollin' on Bandit and finally get that buttoned up and back to Jeff.

 

Some how spend most of the day in Bolivar, instead of working on ol red, ck.
