I'll start the what got done on the weekend.
Well I might as well start off with what I got done. I relocated my battery to the back, put the cut off switch in the bumper, and mounted the remote terminals under the hood. I also replaced my plastic fuel cell with a aluminum one, redid the fuel line with a billet suction filter and shut off valve. I would have posted a pic of the hole I cut in my dint free box for the sump, but I didn't want to make the "keep her original" guy's upset.

Straightened the shop(happens every weekend) and drank all the beer in my shop!

Man that's a sharp application ya got there Drag!
I actually got to work on my project for the first time in several months. Learning as I go I'm doing a cab swap. Got everything outta the cab except front/rear glass, fuel tank, steering column, and brake assembly. Not sure how to go about removing the glass so I'll probably have to do a Q&A post on that...lol

Welded in the patch panels on my hood brace panel. Turned out pretty good.
Jims70GMC- Watch the heat tomorrow! You better move fast with that concrete, in this heat it'll set up fast.

I helped Wootdogs brother Josh do some bodywork on his truck bed, and my daughter's prom date shot a couple coats of paint on the cab. Josh shot a couple coats too, we'll have some pics to post soon.

Oh since I haven't used my washer fluid in 17 years, I also removed the bottle and bracket, just to balance the weight I lost from the battery LOL.

installed my lift kit and shocks. PITA to do without a gas axe for those 35 YO u bolts!! but it sure looks nice! also installed new header gaskets(again). this time i took advice from you guys and used regular manifold gaskets and hi temp sealer. it sounds good now, i just hope it lasts for more than 3k miles.

I went to the NHRA drag races in Brainerd saturday. I took my wife and son (9 and a total gearhead). We watched Tony Schumacher break more track records and almost the NHRA record for mph at over 337. He ran twice with ets of 4.44 and 4.48. Oh yeah, they all ran well and it was my first time back since 1995, before the boy was born. There may be some correlation between the mother breathing in all those nitro-methane fumes and tire smoke and him being afflicted with gearheadedness. I can think of worse things, but he has a long, sometimes painful, therapy to deal with. I'm trying my best to be understanding and supportive of his interests, but dammit, he wants to take my truck in a few years, then I'll have to find new therapy. My oldest girl is named Shelby, for the AC Cobras. Maybe I'll buy a kit...

I opened the door to the shop and saw my truck as I pulled out the mower. I was on the road most of the weekend driving to and from my daughter's school. Mowed the pasture land, least it seemed that way in the heat/humidity.

I recieved shipment of a 67 short step project from another member. it came with a butt-load of extra parts which needed a home. then I cleaned ou the garage & reinforced the roof joists. (gotta make room for parts up above) then I got a call from Dean & Crystal saying they are about 2 hours away. we ended up with a total of 5 board members here for a mini meet. I had a great time BSing with all of them. thankfully I had a pair of Honda buckets & a Chevy bench seat. sorry, no pics, the batteries in digicam were dead.

I fixed my power steering pressure hose leak :crosses fingers: And worked on degreasing the engine from months of PS fluid leakage. PO thought the way to fix the leak was just to fill more PS fluid in the resevoir.
Oh yea... did a lil of this  too.

Finished up replacing the inner rocker, kick, front pillar and outer rocker on the passenger side of the Burb. Now it's time to move onto the driver side.
