    I torqued the flywheel nuts, and put the starter back on...it was only 85 degrees in the garage. All that's left is bolt the slave cylinder back up, and put the exhaust back on...

    Dura-blocks are basically the answer to finishing any body work for me! so straight with them.


    finally got the car started today! sounds so great..my issue was the seatbelt interlock..got that all figured out, still have fuel lines leaking so i have to fix that for the 4th time.. (stupid russel hardline connectorts, farrels just want to leak)
    besides that it's time to put it back together..still got all interior to put it, subframe connectors, nitrous kit, gears, and then the springs in the heads.

    hammer this way hammer that, end up back at the beginning, apply heat and quench to retighten metal, give up and apply bondo or glazing putty than sand it off and find out your not satisfied and begin again.... repeat for 4 or 5 time and totally give up for the day... repeat day after day... did I mention it was around 110 degrees for the last two days

    I put more stuff away that was sitting on the car. I can now see the hood and trunk!

    Both great albums but I don't blame you for passing on the other crap!

    All we have to do here in Atlantic Canada is buy "Hi-test". No ethanol, except for 10% in low grade and up to 5% in mid-grade.

    Sliced up the patch panels for the upper aprons. I still say this bench mounted metal hand shear is the best tool I've bought lately.
    Only took about 10 minutes.
