Well that sucks. What was it out on? Nox? Hydrocarbons?

So when the guy told me he was going to fail me for those vacuum lines I asked him where they go since I passed 2 years ago, he told me he had no idea where they went. I then asked him why are you going to fail me if you don't know where they go he simply said "follow the diagram" what a goon if he doesn't know where they go, how does he know they're in the wrong place. Once I get it to pass its getting a new steering column and new paint. :smoke: I will need a new catalytic converter because the nox and Hydrocarbons are on the high side, but I already knew this. I will be putting stock manifolds back on and redoing the exhaust system sometime in the next 2 years. Overall its just frustrating, I can't wait to finish school so I can move to another state. |

That's frustrating but at least it passed the hard part. Maybe a different shop next time?

Re: 81 Chevy K10 ShortBed
Well guys I got it smogged, free for another 2 years haha. I will be getting a paint quote later this week. Once I get my tax money back it will be getting painted. Next will be a tilt column and new rear lift springs.

Re: 81 Chevy K10 ShortBed
Put a billet grille on, I tried to take the black paint off my original one and that turned out to be a disaster. I didn't like it too much at first, but it grew on me quickly. Also I talked to a painter that is a friend of my uncle, he took a look at my truck today and is going to give me a quote on paint. Also I have another project coming up getting it delivered next week.

Re: 81 Chevy K10 ShortBed
Looks really good. I'm glad you are keeping her for the time being. How do you like the Detroit in the rear on the daily driver?

The locker is pretty good, it does have it quirks being a locker and all such as the random "bang" which has happened about 3 times since being in there but its really no big deal to drive on a daily basis with no snow. If it snowed here, I would have put a trutrac in it. I hardly ever need 4 wheel drive now. |

Re: 81 Chevy K10 ShortBed
I think Cochino cursed my paint schedule :lol: but my painter got all the bodywork done and its going to be in primer Thursday. After its in primer he is going to block sand then the base/clear will go on, wait a couple of days then color sand and polish and block sand the clear. Hopefully by the end of next week I will have it back.
He said he had a hell of a time doing my passenger door. I knew the door had been repaired poorly before, so it was just really beat. The glass guy will pull out the front side and rear windows before he paints it and new rear and side glass will be installed along with the chrome front and rear weatherstripping. I am so excited, I miss driving her and seeing her in my driveway. I will get more pictures of the body work soon, but for now here is a teaser picture. http://i392.photobucket.com/albums/p...ody%20work.jpg |
