Cool, I guess i always associated Shinoda with Ford, had forgotten about GM.

And here i thought you had a hidden Torino somewhere

He had a big hand in the design of the C-2 Corvette.

That will be way to full. Pan rail is the full line.

The Shinoda Syclone is cool. I didn't know they had T Tops til I went looking.

Hi Donny,

The trucks with Give-A-Ways in a contest and unfortunately I did not win the contest. But I did find one for a good price and I drove it home from St Louis.

The red line on the Lokar Dipstick represent the max full which is about 3/4 below the bottom of the transmission case. The blue line is where
I filled the trans to at this point. Which is about a 1/4 lower and once I am able to drive the car ( weather sucks here ) I will top it off.

derp You're right, I got it backwards.

So twice, I have had 4L60s that just wouldn't seal up no matter what I did and in both cases the Lokar dipsticks were wrong (and opposite of yours) and the trans was just way overfull.


Continuing the side bar. Did they really just cut to tops off the doors to do the T Tops?

I had the same issue and of course I overfilled the trans.

Yep, they were all give-a-ways in the contest.

Targa Roof Conversion - Roof stores in bed
Power Rear Glass - Lowered all the way down
Guidon Bed Cover - To cover up the roof
Recaros Seats - Very comfortable
Sony Sound System
Boyd 17'' Wheels
Hot Licks Red Paint / Graphics

I am finally making time to get the Aluminum Transmission pan that the guys at ProTek Powder Coating did for me.

So off with the steel pan.



Aluminum pan is in and the Shiftworks bracket will be installed.





Unfortunately, the bolt coated in red stripped out the threads.



Finally adding trans fluid.





This Lokar dipstick is so hard to read without glasses.



I think I am going to ask the guys at ProTek Powder Coating to match the Fan Shroud to Intake Tube.



We all know I have issue's and this is concrete proof. I have dropped the key to the snowblower multiple times and today was the last time.

Yes, I used Paracord and I even heat shrinked the ends so it would look nice.

What's a "snowblower"?

It's a thing you walk behind when there is white fluffy stuff on the ground. Oh Yeah and it is usually cold when that happens.
