Re: What did you do to YOUR bump today?
The Cheby had been in the swamp around 4 weeks He (my Buddy) couldnt find anyone to pull it out.. The front and rear diff's were frozen in the mud so Big orange to the rescue! he gave me $10 to get her washed and all is well, she as clean as new sittin in the garage
I cut it twice and its still too short!!

Stripped, and por-15'd my D60 and battery tray for the '69. Will be installed tomorrow, truck will be rolled out of the garage for the first time in forever, and the 360 and c6 will be installed. Going to be exciting..

I bent the draglink or that rod that goes to the other knuckle. I attacked a rock at the local dunes. Now my steering wheel isn't centered.

Re: What did you do to YOUR bump today?
I haven't actually worked on mine lately but I have been buying a bunch of parts (for the engine swap). In the last month I bought:
Camshaft, rear sump oil pan, HV oil pump, valve springs, torque converter, MSD 6AL box and coil, Holley 110GPH fuel pump. It's nice when the UPS guy knocks on the door.
I'll be ordering my Ford Performance tachometer, Comp stainless steel roller rockers and transmission overhaul kit before the month is up.

Re: What did you do to YOUR bump today?
I tried 5 different starters with no luck then found out I had the wrong flywheel/clutch and then I got pi$$ed with the whole project and I haven't messed with it in a few days. Insted I've decided to try and buy a rolled bronco and make an off road rig

Re: What did you do to YOUR bump today?
Today I connected the turn signal lights that are on my hood scoop to work with the blinkers, it’s really cool to see them blink on your hood. I also fixed the cargo light switch along with grounding the cargo light to the courtesy light. I must have forgotten to do it when I got all the wiring put in. It works inside with the red indicator and out side as well, and it looks like a winner.
