Re: PO has me PO'd

Started to work on the rad. support, found out it was hit on the right front. So a little hammer and dolly work got some of it out, where the lines are in the pic needs more, but it is right behind an uprite brace. Some creativity involved... Lower area pushed back about about 2". Of course the lower battery area needs to be replaced...

Got the power steering hooked up, and finally got the correct clamps from NAPA (SS #33226) Exhaust seems tight, may have to delete intermediate bracket, I'll decide after I get the CC hooked up to a clamp.

Here's some pics

Re: PO has me PO'd

Thank you, just got a dbl row pulley for the PS, so I can play with that.

We just had a sickness, death in the family, funeral was today so I haven't had much chance to work on it.

Re: PO has me PO'd

Sorry to hear about your family.

The weather here is less than desirable...or...it sucks!

On a good note I went to Harbor Freight and picked up a media blast cabinet and 4 vehicle dollies today. Maybe this will give me some motivation o get something done.

Re: PO has me PO'd

Thanks.
You will be amazed how helpful the cabinet is to clean parts, that was my third tool to buy along time ago. My cabinet is about 4' and I would not have it any other way, but my compressor is down rite now, and have to rebuild it. The dollies are useful to, since I have a small shop. My Harbor Frt. is about 15 min. from me. Great place to look around. They had a new compressor for 90 bucks and I should have bought instead of buying parts to rebuild mine. Oh well hindsight, 20/20!!!

Soooooo, you may be getting started? Good time of the year, nothing happening.... good luck and post pics

Hey I was talking to Dave's Amnesia the other day, he's headed my way in the spring. He wants mine dun
