Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Morning Creed and crew.

Love the look of them old trucks. They look mean as hell.

 

I've taken the side cover off transmission to inspect and very little wear showing in there. I cleaned out small amount of synchro material and wiped off the magnet in there. Put cover back on and new seals in it. Also changed the 4:56 rear gears out to the original 3.70 that prev owner still had.

 

I too had a friend in high school that had a 70 trans am 4spd. I think he knew better than let me behind the wheel lol

 

You'll find that 3.70 gear to be a great all-around street gear. Had 3.73's in a SS Chevelle in the day. Could get out of the hole strong & still top-end decent.
One of these days I'll put the 4.11s back in my '69 Z, 4.88s still in it from my younger days...

 

I don't recall numbers HP and torque but the engine put together similar to a few builds in super chevy and another magazine, Dart 400 starts making a good amount of torque fairly low in rpm's...it should rip pretty good I'm thinking. My build not dyno but those other 2 builds both 500 hp and torque at crank on dyno, tad over even...

 

Actually had a couple of them, the silver one was my first, and the blue one is the most recent one I let go. They are fun cars and were often underrated as to the power they had for a heavy car with a V6.

 

I think it is more new drivers then anything else in my case that never had experience with country deliveries .

The GPS says this is the place box gets tossed out . My neighbor is a son of one of the local building Contractors if you really don`t know it looks like his house goes with my shop where I live.

So even though delivery instructions state deliver to shop either man door or overhead door they figure they are being good delivering to the house .

 

Mine is just a regular old house in town. My problem with the tube steps was they were ordered from Amazon, made it to Sioux Falls, SD, then... nothing. I got ahold of UPS to look for it and that came back as "sorry, can't find it" so I had to cancel the Amazon order and bought new ones from Real Truck instead.

If that's about the worst I've had, besides things showing up a day late, I really can't complain.

 

Where you been? Sleep in today? My OCD wouldn't allow me to follow with my usual .5 this morning

 

It is a new start up gonna be some bugs to work out .

Then where I live is in one of those places one woman said she came Hazelton the next driver was out of Bethlehem things to work out.

 

Getting ready to start planning the basement reno. Existing bar needs completely torn out and redone. This company is going to cost me a lot of money.

I feel like today might be a good one to head West to Lincoln in search of a artificial Christmas tree clearance priced somewhere. Scheels sporting good there too! Wife said ten years of that old tree it's finished...

 

Definition of sleeper those SC cars were!

 

I feel your pain Brother. My bath remodel took 18+ months.

But, I did finish it!

Proof!

 

Looks awesome

 

Thank you!

Not too bad, right?

 

Let’s see what the inspector says, @Fargo Taco would you shower in Hobbs bathroom?

 

Looks good

 

Better n more fancy than any of my homes bathrooms. I'm the guy though that roof not leaking water I'm good with it....lol...ok not that extreme but you get the idea

 

Thank you!
