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.

Finishing Up the G-Force Crossmember ( 01-12-20 )

I broke out the big drill which has a tendency to try to break my wrist.



Pulled out the 5/8 bit to duplicate the slot.



Love the dremel.



More blue tape and as you can see I put notes on everything so I don't have to try to remember what I forgot to do. Tape stays on till the task it complete.

New Custom Works Dash Surround and the 7" Holley Dash. I have a couple ideas in my head of how I would like this mounted.



More parts from Holley





I figured I would put the body harness back in the car.



Just Because.



Time to make new lines.



Yet another sensor.



Test running all the wires



Got the other Bulkhead. ( 01-18-20 )



Sucks the holes are different sizes and of course the firewall has a nice new fresh coat of paint.



Bring out the Dremel and some more blue tape.





Touch up time.
