its alive my car is running finally,have'nt driven it though,carbs need a rebuild and ive got 4 days to get them done, thats just par for the course i guess.almost forgot,the radiator has sprung a leak also.
I see they corrected it. Good. Congrats on carrying the torch for Oldsmobile in F.A.S.T. You're the first one. :TU:
If I can get the thing together I'll be happy/surprised to be in the 12's with no tuning. Motor and tranny go in this afternoon. Time for me to take a nap. :sleep:
You could probably bed down in one of the old wayward trucks out back temporarily until you find some more permanent digs. :laugh: :laugh: Don't pay any attention to all those strange animal sounds and screams in the night. :eek2:
Dave, didn't you put a hoist in your new garage? It seems like I'm always doing a last minute thrash before every event. Even the smallest projects get out of hand and take forever, so I end up arriving at the event all bleary eyed and tired and not ready. But somehow things seem to work out anyway. :TU:
Joel: I had planned to put in a hoist, but low on $$$. Taxes went up again here. Gotta support that mayor in Detroit and his large living lifestyle! Garage now filled with 2 cars, a pile of junk and a whole bay of lawn maintenance equipment of all flavors. Talking about a dirt floor pole barn construction attached to my other garage at the back of the property for lawn and snow removal equipment (and maybe a few more mountains of old Olds junk). :bglasses:Still have 2 more cars to bring here and all 3 garages are full....again and the diesel's outside.
Had to do something the last minute. I gave the '64 a ring and pinion swap, rear u-joint and an oil change this weekend. Even my scissor lift is a time saver. Deferred the wipe down to the track or hotel so I could load it in the trailer before we had rough weather blow through Sunday eve. Strap it down, load up supplies and head to Kil Kare Thursday afternoon. :TU:
I still have to unload this one (that I brought home yesterday), empty out the truck (back and front) then load up, hit T n T at Milan Weds PM with Casey (one more thing to try), then run down with Brian and Casey on Thursday. Old friend Tom from Oldsmobile Purchasing riding shotgun this trip. He's a lot of fun, but drinks too much. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
birds of a feather..... BTW Dave, that TH400 you sold me works just fine in the GS. Hope to see you at Martin on the 17th.
It was new when I got it, but I still had Brian clean up the front pump. Convertor was a little sticky . He knows his stuff! Glad all is fine. :TU:
Experiment This was mostly an experiment (trying out a new picture resizer) but related to the topic: Here's an engine photo from about two nights ago. Pulled an all nighter last night (9 pm to 5 am) to install it and the trans back in the car and fired it up this morning. I am at work operating on zero hours sleep. The hood is in the paint shop and is supposed to be done tomorrow so it looks like I am on track for this weekend. K :sleep:
