What OT crap are you working on

I would think you could post a thread to get help now in this section. Not really much different than me posting a thread about my 87 Chevy pickup.

 

Go for it. This is the "Off-Topic" area. The complainers wont see the irony about the "Our-Hobby-Is Dying" threads...

New daily and VW build.

 

The Blue truck is the color of my truck in 75. It was my first new vehicle, It had a rough life, I crashed it hard 2X in 75 and 76 snow. I purchased a slide in camper for my family as I was racing weekends , we had 3 small kids coming with and sometimes we camped with it before and after racing events, I called it my poor man's motor home. Then I used it for my shop truck for several years, just an FYI forklift truckers use your dropped tail gate as a stop when loading. Then the rust out came, I got used doors and the box from Az., tailgates we learned to take off, got new replacements local. I owned this truck for 10 years, motor, drive line never a problem, 350, manual trans, 3:73 gear. I felt bad selling it, it served me well. the HAMB brings up memories.

 

We spent 6 winters in Apache Junction and the weather was great, the sunsets are the Best I've ever seen. Az. has many beautiful areas, quite a lot of diversity of scenery. We tried to hit every tourist thing, events, scenic area's, I hit the local and big event car shows, happy we did it, enjoyed it, good memories.

 

The led bulb replaced the original bulb . the yellow led bulbs replacing the glow of the vacuum tubes

 

Looking forward to the build thread on the 83 Caddie

 

I got a chance to spend a day on my "Everyday",

Cut open the "Cats" & got rid of the rotten egg smell, welded them back up & it even sounds much better. I was on a roll until I dropped the oil pressure sending unit down between the back of the engine & the firewall & it wedged itself in....took me 2 hours to get it out. My new Teslong Boroscope sure did come in handy LOL . Started to ****on it up & realized I broke the plastic vacuum fitting for the power brakes off. UGH done for today. Those that have changed oil sending units on an LS can feel my pain!

God Bless

So far, I haven’t found anything about working on an LS that I like. Pulled a 6.0 apart recently to change a lifter…only to find out that they aren’t under the valley pan where they should have been and that we have to pull the heads… Pushed it outside for another day.

 

This is a 5.3 & I currently have a AFM delete in the OBD port, but I know probably this coming summer I will be pulling it apart to put a cam & lifters that delete the AFM the proper way. Of course the cam will be a little hotter & may put a set of header on it as well...Just can't leave anything stock LOL

God Bless
