what did you grease monkeys get done this weekend

I finshed the body work on the fire wall and spit some epoxy primer on it. Here are a few pics of the project.
Thanks to the body pros... sevt_chevelle, MARTINSR and others for the help with fillers and paints.

Much hacking on the rear suspension. I've got an extra 3" of clearance for the axle and another 3" of drop on the bags. Pretty soon, I should have this thing fairly low

edit: added pic (if anyone is looking for an excellent photographer for weddings, birthdays, etc., you can tell from this gem that I'm your man! )

Had to work on my carb on the '70 Burb. The Eddlebrock still is not running up to par. But I will get it right.

I worked a s@@tload of OT for money to get the Camaro painted, then hauled a load of lumber in the 70 for new railings for the front porch. I got 2 posts set and then it started raining. Fortunatley the wood is salt treated, so it will sit in the truck until tomorrow nite, when it's supposed to be nice weather.

Jamis,

You know you shaved the speedo cable and throttle cable hole right ?

Well,
I went to my G-Friends grad. 6 hour drive to the school it was most of the weekend. She is now a Vet Tech got 2 of the 4 awards handed out too. Pretty good weekend. Good break fromm the truck.

I managed to get the holly 600 rebuilt so I can get rid of the 1406 on my 84 DD.

And I just broke the faring die for the 3/16 lines I had to flare. Next weekend I will get lots done though.

yep....but only after my haze from all the welding and beer wore off....I noticed I didnt have the hole for the speedo cable.

As far as the throttle hole, I'm going with a cable and this had the rod setup and I need the sqaure hole for the cable. I'm sure when I go to put it back together I will find more holes I should have left alone and some I should have closed. LOL

I blame my mistakes on this. I was on vacation when I tackled this job and I only drink when I'm on vacation or not on call for work. need less to say I only drink a couple of beers a month and that day I had six

Run the cable in the same general arc as it would have been, but stay inside the cab until you get down to the trans hump area. Pop a grommet in and thread your cable through. After carpet is in place, you'll be all set. Then delete your post above and pretend you did it on purpose

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Saturday: After 4 trips to town for parts (actually 1 for parts, and 3 for stupidity ), I finally got the new converter, and transmission bolted in, removed the ramhorns and installed the new headers. Washed my work truck, mowed the lawn, had a jack and coke and fell asleep in my chair

Sunday: Went to my buddies to pick up his partially disassembled '65. Brought it to my house pulled the engine and worked on getting it ready for paint.

Hey all! I’m kinda new to this place. Someone from Team Camaro mentioned this site. What have I done this weekend? Well since I picked up a 67 GMC ½ ton for $175 last weekend, I washed it and the engine compartment of the 88 sub I’m cannibalizing for parts. Yesterday I pulled everything loose from the sub’s engine and pulled it this morning. Next I’m pulling the crossmember with steering and suspension to use on the 67.
