Quote of the day from Bob Hanlon who is rebuilding the Firebird's T-56 "doesn't look like the transmission fluid's ever been changed" after he saw a lot of brown and grey on things that are supposed to be shiny

Getting the paint touched up?

For my '87 C10 SWB Stepside:

1) LS is on the engine stand getting "refreshed" and updated (more power!)
2) Donor Frame is getting blasted, then paint, then new "stuff" (brakes,etc.) with slight drop
3) Body will have to move over to "new" frame
4) All the miscellaneous other things like new gaskets, rubber, wiring, etc. that is required to make things work correctly

Sometime before or after PT will be new paint and interior update. Main thing is getting it on the road and in a safe/operable condition to make the tour.

Maybe if I power brake it enough

Yeah - between the stone chips from getting passed by Prius(s) and the rust bubbles in the doors that were starting to get pretty big and the delamination of the skim coat on the passenger side quarter panel - I figured I would be prudent to get at least the black taken care of since it is somewhat easier to match. The Blue Ice Metallic has lots of issues as well but that will take a complete repaint and I am not ready for that.

Hopefully it will look OK when I get it back.

I'm doing a big brake upgrade on the Marauder. 2012 Mustang GT500 rotors, C5 Vette pads, custom brackets, TCE lines.
Also need to toss some rear shocks on as the OE ones finally started leaking.
After that, fluids, filters, and a full tank of gas. :D

Funny....

I need a new QA1 coilover shock. One has developed a leak. So, that means l gota get 2 new ones. To be on the safe side. Just replaced the rear pumpkin in the Moser 9". Bought 2 new axles from Moser with wheel bearings. Intake developed a small leak. You have to periodically check tightness of bolts on alum intake. Ask me how l no.

Are the shocks rebuildable? I have had to tighten my intake header and collector bolts at times. Don't forget the valve covers. I think I put nylocks on the carb studs. I have new body bushings but not the bolts.

Yes, there is a local place that rebuilds them. I jus have 2 find the time to get them off..I'll keep a check on those valve covers too...THANKS..

Since “A” only has a small chance of being ready, which means everything. Plan “B” needs spark plugs, wires, radiator flushed, new windshield, and a spare tire. For some reason it was optional on 5th gen Camaros. How can a spare tire be an option?
