    • It looks out of context.....for ME
      "Like" WHAT are you doing?
      I would have just sent something more ME,
      Kool, Great, Groovy, or even "That's SO Good I'm going to Steal That Idea!!"

      It doesn't look like I sent it.

      Carry On, I do like your progress !

        • I wish I could blame many Strange Things that happen here on my friend Al Kohall........
          Haven't had any beers for over a week and a half. All my Rusty Iron Junkie Friends are staying home with the Shelter In Place Order.

          Maybe I'm having the "DT's" or Cabin Fever.......LOL

          ​​​​​​The only other person I have seen is the postman, dropped off the shifter from Russell.
          Going to get out of the shop and house Saturday. Going on a Parts Safari.
          Maybe that will help. But I have had 3 strange emails and texts going and coming in today.
          Peace Out.

            • I just wonder what the point of someone hacking your account to do this would be . Not doubting it happened , just what would be the point .

                • today was mostly cleaning the shop and reorganizing. The next step for both the Corvette and the Buick is bodywork so I opened up some floor space

                  but onto the car first, resolving the power steering issue (I didn't)


                  then I took some thinking time on my dirtbike

                  then got these for free, yes, downhill is in my future

                  I guess I own 2 Jeeps now, I think I overpaid
                  pulley install starter pack


                  then I found the right pulley - too bad the pump is too small for what I'm doing

                  back to the pump

                  the problem is the pump is about 1/4" forward - and there is no room to go back...


                  I still need to resolve the alternator issue but that is for another day

                  • let's start with the air cleaner
                    this is what's hitting

                    had to dig in my fitting bone pile for a 90* elbow

                    fixed


                    still need to buy a filtered top.. what I have is too think and too cheesy
                    epoxy time

                    cut a bunch of strips

                    then start plying them on there

                    and inner fenders the aluminum is meant as a backing. I could have used wood, but that would require coating both sides.

                    starting to refine my technique on this side

                    somewhere I read that using glass to coat the strips would help. It does

                    the steps.... first dump some resin on the glass then put glass strips on the glass

                    let it soak (maybe 30 seconds max)

                    flip it over

                    then stick it in place


                    it's a messy task, but once you stick it up, let it adhere for a bit (push it onto the place), then come back a minute or two later and push it again to get the resin to come through. Tomorrow I should finish... tonight was hole-filling, so it was only one layer.... next lay up I'll do a couple more layers and that should hold it. The entire goal here is strength. I'm going to rubberize coat it so it will be unseen once done

                          • the most boring part of any build... filling holes

                            and building up edges

                            basically tonight's mix was epoxy mayonnaise...


                            tomorrow, move it forward after I get my new shear...

                            • Not sure how much I will use this on this project, but upgraded my shear today


                              got it off the lift, now I just have bodywork... or at least that's what is next

                              • bracket number 3?

                                mounts too low, but I can make it work with some welding and stuff - the biggest thing, I need to move it forward enough to clear the lower radiator hose


                                time to start sanding...


                                fender isn't terrible


                                the door
                                gaps

                                the only metal part on the outside so I used proper metal tools

                                much better

                                for awhile it's going to be rinse/repeat for body work. The gaps and such are going to take a lot of time... ah well
