Things I am pondering today

[cobra]

so allen, are you pondering where your steel balls go, or wondering where your steel balls go

[Eliteman76]

Like the covers Alan. Blue Thunder pieces are nice, same ones I got on the cleveland.

Moral of today: Nitto Tires and a gravel road do not mix. $18 in quarters later...

Pictures to follow.

Pondering continued:





This is after I limped the GTS to the car wash...

I had putty spreader in the back of the car after running an errand last week and paid off well.

Used to to remove the 2 inches of mud and gravel off the tires and side walls.
No paint damage that I can see Carl.
No scratches as far as I can tell, only casualty was a small area on the rocker lost a little paint due to the pressure washer, but easy enough to have fixed.

I had to back up about 400-500 feet to get back to pavement.

Man you made a wrong turn!

Allen, did I really say "Man Up"? Nice work by the way, fuel lines and pretty regulator look great! I think maybe pushlock connectors and the blue hydraulic hose would have been easier to install
Looks like you have a long list of improvments going on....don't worry about where that check ball goes.....
Is CSTMWGN going in for body yet?

George - you probably did not use those words but that is what I heard - quit whining and just install a freakin return line! Those are Aeroquip's version (sockless fittings and hose). The -10 slipped right on slick as a whistle but man is that -8 hose hard to push on the fittings.

As to "other improvements" - seems I broke a case - which I have yet to start pondering how that happened!
Other things to ponder on this topic include:
Is this a sign that it is time to put a T56 in it?
And if I do, just how many driveline parts could I break with it?
Will I need to pull a trailer with spare parts?

As to the "body repair" - I am still pondering that - should I just have them fix the immediate damage OR should we start over from scratch? I haven't been happy with the durability of the current paint job but I can't really justify the cost to strip it down to bare metal (AGAIN). My plan is to have them fix my truck first while I continue to think about what I am going to do with the wagon.

Muffler bearing??

I am pondering why the hell are we having earthquakes in North Carolina.West coast keep them out there.

[Eliteman76]

Allan-
I have a guy off one of my Torino sites, lives in Florida, that is a paint guy. Might be able to help on that end if the wagon needs paint work.

[70chevyC-10]

Muffler bearing??

No - that's a steel thing-a-ma-bob, goes in the doo-hickey deal.

[200WINS]

Allen, the "man up" comment was about wearing a PINK freaks shirt which I am very pleased to say you and I did!! Now as I remember Detroit (kinda), We were dicussing the return line deal and, you may be right, something like "quit whining" and get er done........or something. When did you break your trans housing? was there a leak or was it the bell housing? TKO600 that sounds like an interesting combination. You could join the ranks of Bucky in breaking parts.......maybe?

Whoever left the shop heater/hairdrier on for the last 3 months please turn it off so we can cool down here?

Sick of Summer!

I didn't know there was a "wrong" time to serve a hurricane. As long as the wind doesn't blow the umbrella away you should be good

I'd drink it now for the instant gratification(s) - in case you're not around for the post Hurricane party.

[CLA55IC]

Why not one before, One in the middle of the hurricane, and One after. Sounds good to me.
