That car is just plain gorgeous.

 

Scott, Your 70 is beautiful!
Living on a dirt road sux eh?

 

Rolled out wires to the rear for amp, amp remote, rca, additional rear turn signals,
ran the amp positive to the battery,
wired in a fuse,
put in the radio,
charged the battery,
padded the floor,
test fit the rear carpet,
touched up the rear wheel wells with underbody coating,
replaced all window cranks with non-wiggling ones

 

Drove it last night. Got caught in the rain. It was still great.

 

Ordered a GearVendors OD yesterday, got my Pypes exaust and Inline tube SS brake lines and fuel lines 2 days ago.

 

Got the 350 disconnected and ready to pull.

 

finished up the rebuilt power steering pump in the burgundy 98. No leaks, no noise and smooth, one-finger steering again!

Also backed the car in the garage and pulled off the rear wheels. Hoping to replace the shoes, hardware and drums over the next couple of nights.

 

Finished up most of my deck lid tonight just have to scotch bright under lid in the tight areas that the dander couldn't get

 

got to do the passenger's side rear brakes last night....I almost forgot how much I love doing drum brakes

Should be able to get the driver's side done and everything adjusted over the next couple of nights.

 

Went to Napa and got me a new Carter
fuel pump for the 66.
Got home a little early, momma should
be home shortly, 32 yrs married today.
WAS going for a cruise, and to dinner...

 

Nice.

Speaking of NAPA. I picked up a rebuilt power steering pump and of course didn't scrutinize it at the store (like a fool). After finally looking it over at home, I noticed that the reservoir is actually a little beat up. I'm wondering if it's worth giving the store a hard time about it since this is going in my show car or just ordering a new reservoir and adding it to the rebuilt pump.

 

Carpet in, kick panels with speakers in, sill plates in, rear bench in.





...only to find out that half of my front seat belts are missing.

Ed:

Scoooooott, help!

AC and vent ducts are all installed, the couch is installed - Home sweet home!

 

Car has been setting undetailed most of the winter and the show is 60 + miles away and now it's raining big time....So I washed it in the pouring down rain then dried it in the garage, added the vintage water cooler for cool factor and called it a day. First show for the year......Tedd

 

I choked mine to death .... I put a new Elderbrock intake 2711 got rid of egr mess . An gave a new drink of gas by giving it a new carb Elderbrock 1801 an retired my 2 bbl. She is happy with extra pep for her small block 307. She will get new shoes when the intakes are changed I'll take her to the shoe rack for new rubber BF Goodrich 235/60/15 up from her original 14 She will like her shoe laces like these pics

 

Having problem with pics

 

Just finished installing a Lares Power Steering gear box on the car for the second time. First one would turn easy to the right but bind up when turning to the left. After numerous times of bleeding the air out,I decided to call Lares. After telling him all the front end parts had been replaced with an alignment ,I felt I had a bad gear box. So they shipped me a new one and now it is installed and working good.

 

New Tires yesterday completed the look I have been after for some time now!! Tilt column install and off to the alignment shop is all I have left to be ready for the spring!

 

True duals are... true!
Flowtech headers and 2.5" exhaust equals nice sounds
Short soundcheck can be found here--> http://s1169.photobucket.com/user/Re...ab88d.mp4.html

 

Fixed leaky power steering hose, tightened header bolts to eliminate a leak, tightened everything on my carb, readjusted the adjustable part-throttle, and redid my left disc brake that was binding and getting warm. All that's left is the alignment now, since the car still pulls a bit to the left.

 

Drove mine again last night. Driving it as much as I can.

 

Have you put those tubular a arms on yet? just wondering how they fit and work out.

 

Which one of us?

 

No A-arms as of yet. PM sent. LOL!

 

Today I got out the '85 POS and drove it a little.
I think it needs to go on to heaven
anyone want to part out a 1985 442?
Gray interior
Good front end
Rusty from firewall back.
No T-tops
headliner sags

 

I'm giving the Eastwood Carb renew a shot on my current carb rebuild...seems to match the color pretty well...it darkens quit a bit as it dries so I think I ended up a little on the heavy side

 

i worked on the tailgate on the 64 f85 wagon.. talk about hard!!! the car has been sitting outside for over 20 years, they did not make the inside cover to be removed with the tailgate stuck shut. the bottom row of screws were barely showing and at a downward angle..took about 3 hrs but finally got it taken apart without damaging anything and got it to open.. all the parts looked pretty good the window rollers were just rusted to the channel..it was good to finally get the tailgate opened..

 

I finished repairing the back window channel, had to weld in some new metal. Also finished welding in the floor patch and removed the inside plenum for the A/C. Kinda hard to see with all the bright metal.

 

yesterday i pulled our Olds out of storage then today put a new coil, new fuel filter and vacuum lines on. put about 15 miles on it and filled it up with fresh fuel. then noticed the brake lights are not working...new problem to get figured out.

really looking forward to driving the wheels off this summer.

 

if the tail lights are working but the brake lights are not , maybe check the brake switch on the brake pedal itself? Maybe it's stuck in?

 

its good, power on both sides of the brake light switch when depressed, i have power at the fuse, fuses are good and i have power going into the turn signal switch but not coming out after reading it leads me to believe that is the issue.

 

Painted the grills black just need to locate a "cutlass supreme" grill emblem that cones with the black backing piece! Any ideas?

 

How about this?

Snuck the bumperettes off my 73 while shes hibernating, its amazing how much better the car looks without them.

 

took the old delta to work the last two days, beautiful weather here in southern AB....Im loving the new 3.73 gears!!!

 

Spent the last days cleaning the floor from the under side, sealing some seams and the floor drain plugs from below, cleaning everything up a bit.



Messy work without seeing any real progress - but that's got to be done too, I guess.

Not much left to do but waiting for my seat belts and a little here, a little there.

 

Detailing, detailing, detailing...

Greasing joints, emergency brake mechanics, door and hood hinges, running around the car in circles and doing all the little stuff while waiting for last parts to arrive.

 

Got my newly painted wheels and tires installed and finally went for the first drive of the season! She weathered a very cold winter with no signs of trouble. Still working on the trim for the wheels but so far a huge improvement

 

Drove the burgundy 98 to work the last 2 days and it was great! Changed the oil and adjusted the rear brakes and parking brake too. May still bring the brakes up a bit more but cautious about not going too far of course.
