It was 39*F today, so I used my new hoist set-up to lower the hardtop (no soft-top) into place.....then went for an hour drive with the hardtop for the first time (weird with a top over my head....LOL).....yes---new paint is on the list this year.......












No more sore back/spine!

Finished the tear down on the Muncie 4 speed for my 68 vert. Found that the reverse gear and reverse idler are all chewed up and will have to be replaced. Cleaned all the good parts including the main case, tail housing, mid plate and side cover. Just waiting on the rebuild kit.

Finished installing DEI heat shielding on the underside, picked up my Cragars from the tire shop where new Cooper tires were mounted. Opened two UPS boxes- one containing new Alpine rear speakers, the other buffing pads from AutoGeek for the new DA polisher... A good day!

gearbreaker

got a Dewitts aluminum radiator, borgeson P/S kit and a new pump, even though I really like how the wide Oval bias ply tires look, I got 4 BF Goodrich radial T/As.

-34* here today. Uncover mine a bit to see if the cold cracked my block.....Nope. First year for "cold storage", indoors, but unheated. So far so good.

Pulled the body on the 68 vert and installed the body mounts. The PO didn't put them back in after he had the frame powder coated. Not a difficult job really when you have the right tools. Sure made it easier with the air ratchet for the ones in front of the rear tires. Also went through the pile of parts and discovered that my flywheel and pressure plate is from a L88. Can't wait to get this car back on the road.

We cut the brake pedal & put the new, smaller pad on. Saw it on another thread, for cars with automatics... the "big feet" issue with clearance between the gas & brake pedals. Only cut about an inch, but it made a very big difference!

I tried out the new needles/seats/jets in the aftermarket Edelbrock carb that the previous owner installed (the previous primary/secondary jets were too rich)

Even with the smaller jets it has more pep....now it wants to "bark the 295 tires" when the TH400 hits 2nd gear

Let's see...

1. Adjusted the power steering control valve so the steering doesn't pull hard right anymore
2. Discovered the power steering control valve is leaking somewhere
3. Re-attached my radio antenna ground plate so the antenna doesn't flop around while driving
4. Discovered the source of my brake fluid leak: left rear caliper piston seals are shot
5. Discovered the park brake isn't hooked up at the left rear
6. Identified what parts I need to get my horn button working again
7. Inspected the #3 and #4 body mounts: they look good
8. Discovered my rear door jamb switches are either missing or damaged
9. Discovered (to my surprise) the factory alarm system is fairly intact, though currently inoperative
10. Discovered my key buzzer works, but the wire's been pulled out of the harmonica connector. Gotta figure out how to reattach that.

Not bad for 3 hours of work, given I'm a bigger rookie than Doorgunner and had to go back to the manuals several times to figure out what was what.

Pulled the exhaust and removed the 2 new "cats". Welded it all back up and installed a pair of Hush turbos. The welded ones. Sounds much nicer now.
