Still plugging along (01-04-20)

Redoing the factory shifter assembly and I need to thank Jay at Pro-Tek Powder Caoting in Joliet for doing such a great job on the base bracket that will never be seen.



So at some point I would love to talk with the guys at DSE and see if I can get the billet shifter they did in the Chevelle.



The ShiftWorks brackets going in.

I think this is the easiest thing I have done on this car to date.

So I was trying to clean out the threads and well I kinda pulled out the nutsert. It just so happened this
one was frenched in the floor vs the other two that went through the floor pan. (01-07-20)



Time to break out the JB Weld



and let's try not to JB Weld the bolt in.





Stay Tuned to see what happened.

Planning for the Holley EFI Harness ( 01-07-20 )

The goal is to hide as much as possible yet still be able to get to things if needed so I am going to hide some stuff in above the Anvil Inner Fenders.



When Larry redid the firewall I had him take the ugly lip off the firewall. I am still not sure if I am going to put a weather strip across the top. But at least I planned for it if I needed it.





Gratuitous Car Picture ( 01-09-20 )



and yes I know I have way to many Hot Wheels.

So do you have just have one of those days !!! ( 01-09-20 )

Well that is exactly what happened on the Jan 9. I closed the door and I heard something fall inside the door. So I went to
open the door to see if I could figure out what it was and then I realized it was the rod for the door handle.

Ugh !!

So off came the door panel





Found it.



Dear Lord talk about an awful task. Hell I have small hands and I could barley get the clip back on.

Looking for Old School Window Cranks (01-10-20)

Seems like an easy enough task and oddly enough it was. All you have to do is go to the Autoparts store that has been in your
town for 80 years and see if they have a window crank.

Not sure how old it is but it has been on the shelf for years.



Next up...Adjustments to the G-Force Trans Crossmember.

So you know when you ask all of your car friends and even the guys at the trans shop if the 700R4 and the 4L60E have the same
size case and the tail-shaft mount is in the exact same position and the case dimensions are the same. Well, don't believe them
because they are not and the blue tap represents where the new holes need to be !!!

Of course I have to drill new holes in my freshly Powder Coated crossmember. Not Happy at all.







This should give you an idea how much different they are.

One of those while you are here moments. ( 01-11-20 )

Hey let's tighten the window glass nuts and see if that is the rattle.



I have had this tool since the early 80's and it's kinda cool that one of the last cars I used it on was my buddy Ken's 70 Split bumper Camaro.





Fit's perfect and the glass is tight and no more rattles.
