What are you doing with your ebody this weekend?

[cudazappa]

came home late last night with a repop hinged T/A hood for my car...

[brads70]

Fitting up my cartool subframe conectors that Boydsdodge set me up with!
Thanks!

[quapman]

WAS going to R&R the fuel pump, finish re-installing all the under hood items and fire 'er back up, but..........

Figured I'd check the timing chain while I had the pump out....flop, flop, flop...

So, back to the NAPA for a new chain ($22..whoo-hoo) and off comes the cover, blah, blah. Naturally, got water in the oil pan while taking off the cover, so NOW I'm waiting on VR-1 oil for the change. I'm buying from a friend who orders it from his source once a month, so that's why the wait.

It's been too damn hot to work lately anyway....98 in the shade yesterday. Hopefully, we'll be up and running again by Tuesday next week.

Lots to do in the meantime if it cools off.....steering column, wiring, carb, kickdown, etc.

YES, the motor WAS freshly painted. 

[CUDA JAS]

You got gears too right?!!  that nylon gear has got to go. 

[BIGSHCLUNK]

The belts are going in!!

Yes, I should have said I installed a new Timing SET, not just chain. I was very surprised that the plastic gear was fully intact. Usually, the teeth are lost in the oil pan. Amazing for 36 year old parts. Of course, I should have done all this BEFORE I made the engine all pretty, eh?

[Mentally Challenged]

Pulled everything off the firewall for blasting. Pulled the heater box out of the inside. Just a few more things to cut off, and I am good to go 

[Mentally Challenged]

Almost ready to blast. Took the quarter windows, upper a/c vents, doors off. Gonna get the back window out tommorrow. Also going to cut the quarters off so I can blast in there. Making Progress

[brads70]

Installing my new rear window louvers!

[tommyg29]

Two weeks ago shortened my crush can by 2". Last weekend restored my rimblow wheel and installed a new shift boot and wood pistol grips. Next week a new fuel sender, and hopefully I'll have a new Mallory 110 fuel pump to replace my noisy blue Holley.
The grips seem like they would be easy to make if you are good with wood. Someone else in here made a set a little beefier than stock, and with wood dowels instead of the screws...cool!
