post 146: Have you ever had one of those days when you go to the shop and know that you won’t get anything done? I had one of those this day. BUT I got a **** ton done and surprised myself. I guess that’s better than wheeling in with a ton of optimism and failing miserably?

147 I have mentioned that I needed to rewire the harness to eliminate the immobilizer. Today that was the purpose. After a few phone calls to my friends Chis McQuarrie (Automotive VOC-ED teacher) and Marion Franczyk (Auto shops teacher) I kept plugging away at this. After several hours of frustration that was mostly directed at the original installer we had it done, maybe?

148 I need some spares before I even finish the car. The good deals on FB marketplace don’t work on my schedule though, so we buy when the deals arrive.
A quick phone call and we were off for a set of tires for the car.

149 Picked up a gasket from a local racer Lee McRae. Naturally a simple pickup becomes a long BS session and so it goes right? Well we get the rear gears in and measure the axle lengths for the floater. Sheer fluke they both ended up the same length reducing the amount of spares I will need.
That chunk was so heavy that it reinforces my decision to go to an aluminum center section.

151 Scraping seam sealer and paint as well as removing trim to make way for a few closeout pieces.

152 I built this bender a long time ago for making race car bodies. It’s been used, stored, and lost for 5 -10 years at a time. But it does a decent job and allows me to make some closeout panels for the trunk area.

153 The reinforcing pieces for the sills are going in permanently today. There will be pain and there will be blood. The rockers need to go away for the exhaust system to run the way I want it. Well they need to go away because the only place I have for an exhaust is side-pipes. My decision of ride height and flat bottomed car dictated this from the start. I just didn’t realize it from the start!
