I subscribe the here and hereafter plan. It's really a great deal, highly recommend, two thumbs way up. Best part is that second plan has no self-appointed saint policy.

then you're really like it when I get DQ'd at Optima for the suspension... a total riot, to you, that will be.

That said, I've quite literally walked PIR 100 times (2.5 miles) in both directions - I'd rather not die, so despite your desire that I put an LS in this car, it gets 'aero' .... which I loathe. But I don't think I'll like being dead - not to say you wouldn't like seeing me dead - but since your opinion really matters to me (or not)... I'll go with SBW and life.

you forget who you talking to?
i LOATH "EL LESS" motors.
if i see one in a car no matter
how nice, i walk away.

big blocks all the way for me-
id run a 1st gen smallblock
1000 times before an el less....

LS it is. Anything for the hater's tears.

I tried talking you into a 427 Motown SBC....

time to clean up some wiring and install the radio
easier to just take it apart

one of the really cool things about the Dakota Digital dash is it's 2 plugs to remove it all

and install the chassis

the vent didn't secure to the dash pad... fixing that and that stuff can fall into it

the tabs will hold the duct to the dash pad... all epoxied in place

now no stuff down the vent

[SuperBuickGuy]

most of the reason I took the dash out was to put speakers and clean up wiring... also, to install the remote door locks... first speakers

epoxy is great for stopping rattles

and speaker installs


I'd never put a stereo in this but it's what gets me points.... next up is reinstall, align the windows, install the remote locks, install reverse lights.... all for the points

[SuperBuickGuy]

it was a shuffle day, so it ended with wiring on the Corvette... however, well... some old friends got moved
as with all great things... I had to 'just' change a fuel filter... what an ordeal, seems the last owner didn't bother putting one seal in place - which made the fuel filter pointless.... grand

so plan b was employed

moved to get this back in the shop

I can't believe how rough this car is.... ugh

installed in its new home

the day finished with me getting this reinstalled

[SuperBuickGuy]

how to haul 12' material....

and ouch, prices
and the interior comes further apart

to be installed

on the lock lever

tomorrow.

[SuperBuickGuy]

window alignment and locks.... but tonight... all alignment so you get a couple pictures

it took a lot of fitting and elonging holes to get everything to line up

not joking, this is where I started, was worried at Optima they'd call me on this... thank god the FiTech computer scrambled... sheesh


of course, what would a night in the shop be without needing parts - the regulator on the driver's side is new, the passenger side is not and it needs replaced.... ah well, I have plenty to do in the mean time.

[SuperBuickGuy]

Door locks. I've actually come out to people sitting in my car. They still live, but let's slow the idiots down

weld a tab to the lock bar

all fits under the panel

of course this door can't go together because I'm waiting on a regulator.

[SuperBuickGuy]

Or smart enough not to tell the rest of the story while the statute of limitations run.

[SuperBuickGuy]

driver's side done more detail
pull wires

actuator install

it was simply easier to weld a tab to the rod to connect it all up

and just like that, connected

and reassembly of the dash

once the right side regulator gets here, I'll assemble the right side.... between now and then, I have plenty to do... some of the aero should be here tomorrow....
