Default Busy weekend for me.....

Well I have started the swap for the TKO. This weekend was remove the old trans and prepare for the new. Basically that means some time on my back yanking the old tranny out and cleaning up under the car.

I also got one side pipe mocked up and ready for welding. I'll do the other side next weekend when I start installing the TKO. At least that is the plan.

Also spent a little more time on the engine project. finished the block prep. by painting the lifter valley and timing chain area with Glyptal, and then shooting the whole block gloss black. (originally I was going to do body color but the test area I painted wasnt coming out the way I liked to I opted for the color I painted most of my other engines) :thumbs:
