The Missing Link

Had a driveshaft built the other day... $237.00. That is all I've been waiting on to go for a test drive. Burn outs are to come. 

Camping Time

Now that's doin' it in style!

Bastard

$25 Bit. 23/32". Odd size unless you are tapping a 1/2" NPT.

Follow the green wire to the water temperature sending unit... Originally there was a steel tube pressed in. I had to remove the tube and tap the hole. Upon removal of the tube I found out thate the hole was slightly larger than 23/32"... BASTARD! Turns out I didn"t even need the drill bit. These LT-1 engines are a breed all there own. Performance wise it is great. Reliability is awesome and gas mileage is up there. My only real complaint is the oddity it is.  

Face lift...a cheap one

fitted sheet metal

color matched hood and added bumper

rattle can aluminum grille

she almost looks respectable... 10-2-4

The Polishing of a Turd



thats one way to block a hole



polished turd

close enough

$2.50 a can times 2 cans = good enough

K5 #2 (The 78)

So I fired the ol' turd up tonight and coated the shop floor with oil. It just so happens that the transmission cooler line got a pin hole in it when it was in the 51. Other than that it's coming together nicely. It still needs drop spindles, radiator, exhaust and a drive shaft. I'll dye the seats and slap some carpet in it and color match the hood. Almost forgot... I'm gonna need some painted steelies and dog dish caps.
