The CZickness XLVI...What's next my friends.

You're too damned ambitious for a hillbilly. I think you're a Mountain William.

You're the second person I've known to use that term before. I like it.

He is very proud of it too!

With the accessories I think it's acceptable.

Worked on the boxes for the terrorists today.
1st shift was about 2 hours and then a nap.
2nd shift was 1.5 hours and another nap.
3rd shift was an hour after dinner.
#1 is lacking a lid. That’s tomorrow.
#2 is a frame (done) and the panels are cut out. Might start skinning it tomorrow.

Morning folks

Working on the first cup of coffee.

Progress on the Pontiac took a few steps back yesterday:


1) I realized I forgot to order a Harmonic Balancer and front crankshaft seal. Someone at some point tried to remove the balancer incorrectly and bent the ever-living crap out of the outside of the pulley, the portion by where the belt rides. This style balancer has 3 ears on the inside that use a specific puller, so using the right tool for the job would have helped them.

2) I also realized I forgot to inspect motor and transmission mounts. I found a broken rear transmission mount, a worn-out front transmission mount and worn-out passenger side motor mount, along with a worn-out engine torque damper (looks like a small shock) that's currently allowing the engine to rotate significantly. Noticed an issue while accelerating "enthusiastically" from a stop the other night, that's when I remembered I needed to inspect these mounts.

3) I discovered that the carpet insulation was a really good sponge and was holding a ton of water underneath (from the leaking sunroof drain tubes). The carpet up top was bone dry, but now I have carpet pulled up everywhere that I could without removing seats and such. Thankfully GM did a good job on the floor pans, as they are well covered to prevent rust. So, it looks like I'll be airing out the car for a few days.


Another $215 later, the repairs shall continue....

And I'm discovering that not only my body is telling me 40 is coming, but so is my mind, becoming very forgetful lately.

UGH!!!! hope the engine is OK......and transmission......Spiecy needs gun/fun money not ANOTHER Roger bill.

I'd agree. New, they seem to be going for $629 to $699 with 10 round mags. Add 3 15 round mags, a holster and G10 grips and it's not a bad deal. Especially when you factor in the lack of transfer fee and tax paid on a new one.

Morning all and congrats to patience and family!

My LGS had a used one a little while back for $549 with 3 15 round mags.
