If you took a boat out here in MN in March it would look something like this... Dammit all...

Actually, depending on the weather and if it was early march, you might still drive the truck out on the lake with the boat still on the trailer.

Here's a screen shot of my current weather. I'm still waiting for the lp conversion kit for my garage heater, so no heat in there yet. This will be the coldest night since last winter sometime.

The law here says that you have to get your fish house off the lake by the end of february, but you can still haul them out there after that if the ice is good. You just can't leave them overnight after 2/28.

Strange...we're having a seriously warm start to winter up here, it was 60 degrees yesterday!!

This morning was still in the high 40's.

Trying to make an ice rink for the kids is tough when it don't freeze ya know. :crazy: :banghead:

Re: PO has me PO'd

A little more on the thread highjack. For us, October was one of the coldest and wettest on record and we all thought, Oh no, this is going to be a rough winter.

Then November rolled in and it was actually warmer than October. One of the warmest on record, so now we think, huh, go figure.

December seems normal, at least for now. I have to move some more parts out of my garage though so the wife can park inside. She doesn't like scraping the windows. She has been very patient so far.

And just to segway back to the build...I really like the detail going into this build. I tend to cut corners, but can't seem to break the habit. I don't see any of that here and I admire it.

I sure don't miss scraping windows.

Can't wait to see the finished product.

Do you have a mandrel bender for 1 1/2" tubing?

Scraping starts tomorrow, Chevyman sent it my way

WHOA! Ya caught me off guard with that 50 cent word:lol:But we should get back to the matter at hand...

Thanks HGS, nice to have someone pick up on that. It really slows my build down tho. I tend to over think every thing and put way to much planning into every part that I bolt on. It is a form of entertainment for me, sorta like a legal mistress:lol:

Traded a guy in Cali (Jims Junk) for a set of 8 1/2" alum. slotted wheels, he took my 10's. So, with 10's on the back and 12" wide tires, it should just about even out the inset of the rearend. Afterall, most of the work will be done by the rear tires

May have a lead on my coolant tubes

I call my various projects "therapy". I'm picking up another parts blazer in the next week or so, the main selling point was a set of aluminum slots that are in pretty good shape. I traded a pair of repro fenders for the blazer, minus the engine/tranny/tranfer case, and the tub may be in better shape than what I have now.:metal:

I love slots!

Hey Jim, I was going through all these pics (I'm on page 11 now :lol:)
Still quite a ways to go.

Where in the world did you find poly mounts for the transmission/transfer case???
I was thinking of changing mine when I do the engine swap, but had no idea those were out there.

IIRC, I had to buy one of the mounts directly from the manufactor, Synergy. It was rather hard to obtain, but they may have gotten easier. That's one of the great things about this board someone WILL know. Are you talking the torque mounts on the side of the transfer case or the trans mount?

Energy suspension has the TC side mounts. I just get the part number from their website and have my NAPA order them.

It's still wacked alittle, but after Kurt and I discussed it and with his measurements we're pretty confident where the trouble lies. You have to remember I had no physical metal to reference off of, so when I hung the cowl off of the rafters I added one more click on the ratchet strap(thinking there would be inherent sag),but there wasn't any. Also, I built it without the front fenders on it, there in lays the problem. I had three sides that looked great and thought that would be enuff. So, by added the the fourth line(front fender) it wacked it out by a 1/2"

Adding the 1/2 top only proved my problem, as it sits 1/2" back towards the rear of the truck only on the passenger side, sooooo, lowering the "A" post patch panel, rocker backing plate, floor or all of the above should resolve the SNAFU. AND bring the half top forward the needed demension. Just gotta figure out what moves what where, and by how much...seems simple in theory lol

I don't know exactly what you did so far, so it would be hard to give you an exact answer, only tips on where the problem may lie. Post up specific problem areas and I'm sure we all can come up with an answer

I'll do that! It probably won't get to be in the spring once we go into the yards though. Ship schedule is haze grey and underway til then. Might get a little bit done to the windshield and the side marker lights over the holidays, but I think I'll be spending most of my time driving my new Camaro.

Gotta admit, it is a pretty cool touring car. 6 speed manual/automatic- manual shifter on the steering wheel, power heated seats, Bluetooth, XM radio, On Star, Suede inserts in the leather seats, 18" wheels. Has a little Bowtie in the rear lights

Yep, I know how you feel, my wife drives a Malibu too.

I should see the Camaro when I get home from this underway. Ordered it while I was in Japan and I've been waiting for them to finish and ship it since I got home. Can't wait!
