Re: "52 3600/3100"
yikes......... that is a reminder to all of us to be careful, and not to rush........ remember, this is our hobby that we enjoy in our spare time, it is not a race.
One habit I have picked up is to wear my leather welding apron when I get the grinder out. I know it wouldn't protect my shoulder in this situation, but I remember my sweatshirt getting caught up in a wire brush and it scared the hell out of me. Hope you heal soon, and glad it isn't any worse.

I think most of us have had a cut off wheel experience. Hope it heals quick, and best to you...Jim

Re: "52 3600/3100"
Alright I know I have said it before but this year is the year. I will drive this truck out of my shop if it kills me. Ordered another **** load of parts that should help solidify the drive train and have it in place. Paint and body is going to go on after its driving. I have had this truck for almost 8 years and I am ready to drive it damn it. wish me luck. or dont either way lol

Re: "52 3600/3100"
Ok so since I have boxes of brand new parts to install and more stuff showing up weekly.( my wife loves it ......) I will update on what I have been able to do with a couple of hours here and there.
Clean up and paint the engine block. Swap the oil pan for the muscle car pan. mock up my headers. Swap the internal harness in my 4L80E. I have destroyed about 6 trans filter seals so if anyone has any tips on how to get one in without destroying it or get one in and it stays in and accepts and filter that'd be great. I have some new filter seals on the way. Hopefully I can get that thing put back together and get the drive train final mounted this weekend. |

Re: "52 3600/3100"
Weekend update. 6/18/23
Started prepping the interior for paint. Let my 7yr old son pick the color, he did well.(Sandstorm Tan) Battled a stuck manifold bolt for a whole day and then 15 minutes of the next lol It was broken about 1/8 inside the threads so I had to build it up with weld btu every time I'd weld a nut on the nut would twist off!!! I ended up building it up and twisting it out with vise-grips after letting kroil do its job over night. Headers on and torqued. OIL pan filled after 3 trips to the parts store to find the right filter for my ebay ls swap pan. mocked up the radiator and got some hose on but I am thinking I may have to try some flex hose as these bends are kind of funky. Process is slow but atleast the train is moving. |

Re: "52 3600/3100"
Been there with broken bolts. A cobalt reverse drill bit works sometimes and when it works really good it unscrews the broken bolt.
