A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Re: 1978 Chevy Sport Re-creation

More paint pics!! My buddy texted me a week before Christmas with these pics and said Merry Christmas. Sadly, even though he is only a couple miles from me, the weather has been crap and I refuse to bring this home in rain, snow, crap!! HAHAHA

Re: 1978 Chevy Sport Re-creation

Sooooo, my little "locating pins" worked perfect. I had 4 guys help me move the cab and set it down on the truck. I lined up the pins and we set it down on them and the fellas left. I went back a little later and all 4 mount bolts lined up exactly

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.
