Technical What are you working on?

same number of balls, but there are some metal pieces spacing the balls apart as they should be.

 

As Jim even said the cage that separates the balls was missing.

Oop’s, jumped the gun. However I did catch that comment day’s ago where as…

 

Yup, that's me

 

It was obvious some balls or a cage was missing. I just wondered which. Seems someone put it together that way. Lucky it didn't wad itself up.

 

Finally got this TH400 back together.

 

Next patient on the table. Going to kit this 4781 for @wrenchbender to try on his digger.

 

I worked on breathing burnt rubber tonight



The original "Agitator" from the 60's





Earlier I gave the 307 some vitals for the first time since I owned it, it was dry with no filter, I started by trying to pour the oil over the pushrod hoping it would run down onto the cam, that got old quick.

 

These guy's were kind enough to use their golf cart to pull me back to my pit when I broke the rear end first round at the HHRR Bowling Green event.

 

Ronnie and Randy, good guys, that 409 pushes the A deep into the 6's, they recently put a blower on their Austin and are running low 5's

 

Thought I heard there was some heath problems in the family? Hope all is well with them.

 

Randy's wife passed a few months ago but they both were in good spirits last night, I believe Randy is driving both cars now.

 

Sorry to here of his loss. Great he is in good spirits.

 

getting set up to install some longer screw in studs in the old Corvette axles.

 

Working on my new engine room at the shop.

 

Engine room plus storage above, double win. Nice shop!

 

Got Jackson a carburetor to try. Didn't clean up very good on the outside but the inside is nice and clean. This should be good so it doesn't stand out like a new carburetor.

 

I finished up my off topic project today, it should be ready to tote the trailer now, what a messy job.
My fittings also came in for the Henry J's trans cooler today, so hopefully tomorrow I can get back on that and decide if I want the lines out the bottom or around the side.

 

But did you buy more Bounty?

 

Workin on these 2

 

I mixed up some Gain laundry detergent with water to spray on the bags so they'd seat in the springs, at the end I sprayed the left over on my arms and wiped them pretty clean with the tougher pickerupper

 

The 283 and 5 speed sitting all pretty in its final recasting place in the frame. It is progress

 

^^^Thats gunna be one tiny driveshaft

 

5 speed Shovel?

 

Selling off another load to thin the heard.

 

playing with new rearend gears, then I'll move on to the new radio...

This is the first attempt with the same thickness pinion shim as the original gears used. I guess it'll probably do.

 

Barracuda is finally ready for primer, got to go get the little one, will be spraying tomorrow.

 

dang, that was quick! Nice work

 

Helps that I’m home all summer, should have been done sooner but I’ve been running around the province picking up Thunderbirds…

 

One thing about primer is you find all the little stuff you missed… I’ll block it and touch up a few spots of body work and spot prime those.

 

Oh, I have to get the color on before I find all of the spots I missed....
