Re: Memorial weekend - plans ? (verskel)
I just finished installing my tranny cooler last night. I just need to clean up the exhaust where the tranny fluid leaked and baked on and then reinstall the exhaust. So I maybe on the road for the first time this year. Once it's on the road I need to get my front fender fixed.

I have a host of items including: replacing intake manifold gasket, water pump, opti-spark, wires, plugs, hoses, radiator on my 94. New radiator into my 442. Helping a friend drop a new motor in his race car (CSR). Mow the lawn. And then, maybe, drink a couple of beers if I get it all done...

Re: Memorial weekend - plans ? (verskel)
No vette for me this weekend. I am in the middle of rebuilding my AC system...will be borrowing guages and vacum pump from my father-in-law when we meet up at Lake Texoma this weekend. Sure to be throwing down plenty of ice cold brews and will still get to enjoy the good rumble of Chevy V8s, only on water. Some of those speed boats have 2-3 502s and lots of times blown on top of that. Quite a sound buzzing across the lake at very high speeds :cool: :cheers:

Hopefully I can finish the motor swap and get the ZZ4 fired up. All of my parts finally came in today. So I will see what happens this weekend.

I will be pulling the heads off my now defunct TPI 350 in my '87 C4 this weekend!! That motor developed a rod knock, so a new motor is in order!

Re: Memorial weekend - plans ? (verskel)
Being a Desert Storm Veteran, I am part of the local veterans rifle squad. We will march in the parade Monday and go to the local cemetaries for Taps and a 21 gun salute for our fallen comrades. It's the least we can do for what they have done for us.
Of course, the WeasleVette will be my primary mode of transportation this weekend. No repairs or upgrades planned.

More yardwork than I want to think about. But after spending $10K on a flagstone deck and deck extension and landscaping, I guess I need to. May end up in a magazine ad when its through, according to the landscaper.

Re: Memorial weekend - plans ? (verskel)
I'm going to try to finish up on my engine bay and frame. If my press arrives, I'll install the right side of my front end, and maybe complete the left side.
I'll drink some beer...
Oh, and my little girl has her first ballet recital. So I'll be going to that. And hopefully, I won't look like too much of a grease ball!
Cheers to everyone! :cheers:

I am going to try and finally get around to installing airbox-A to hood-B and then put the A & B back on car-C so I can cruise "comeplete" :lol:
