Went for a drive with the Alfa Romeo club through the Santa Cruz mountains and then took the full Canepa Designs facility tour. That tour was awesome and I saw some incredible cars including the 1st Duesenberg production car that is under a 10000 hour restoration. Sure glad I am not writing the check for that labor bill.

I pulled the motor out of my Donor camaro. My LS1 is now on my stand awaiting adapter plate, ECU tune & wiring harness work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I also installed the rear main seal in my 74 2.0! |

Went to Home Depot this morning a searched for a tool to put the drop link on. A small bar clamp looked like it might work. Success! After finally getting them on I am fried! I am 63 years old. Hopefully this will be the last time I will ever have change them! Sometimes the simplest looking job is really a pain in the ass. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif)
Also replaced my Oil Filler/Breather Housing Gasket which was 40 years old! As I result I had to adjust my idle a little. QUOTE(JawjaPorsche @ Aug 4 2012, 06:32 PM) Just spend the better part of the afternoon "trying" to replace my Rear Sway Bar Drop Link Bushings! Finally got them replaced on the drop links! Damn that was a bitch! Boiled water too! Got one end of link on the sway bar bar with no problem. However, the end that connects to the shock and arm: No way! I even got a "big ass channel locks" from Home Depot and it was not big enough! I will take it to my mechanic next week and he will put it on in five minutes! |

It's well known that if they pull you over, you ARE getting the citation. Even if you're with another agency. Needless to say they aren't well liked for this very reason. They just gave my 83 year old, fixed income, widow grandmother a $485 dollar cite for getting out of the HOV lane too soon (before broken white lines) to get to her off ramp. According to my grandmother the lane change was safe. I'd like to have a word with that officer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Caravan'd down to Garold Schaffer's Annual BBQ on the border of IN and IL with Mike, Mark and Glenn.
First time in ten years that I took my teener out for a 5 hour drive and at >95 degrees F! Oil temps got up to >110 C for a short period on the return trip while doing 85 mph for 1 hr trying to beat the rain. I had to back off the pedal to 65 mph let her cool down. Started to rain 10 minutes from my house. Then 10 minutes after I pulled in the garage the storm let loose and their was a huge down poor. Thanks Garold! Attached image(s)

Needless to say they aren't well liked for this very reason. I've seen several places where you have to get out of the carpool lane a few miles ahead of your off ramp.

I sped up to get away from some texting drivers next to me in the #2 lane (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Unless something's changed, I thought safety trumped a posted speed limit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) LAPD rookie wrote the brake light ticket (during daylight hours). I asked him if he actually knew why there are two brake lights on a vehicle. Apparently, it's all about the $ now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) ... I'm on a fixed income too. Garold's BBQ looked like a good time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

put my heat exchangers back together...
it was down to 52 last night... BRRRRR! lol hey, if anyone else out there decides to hook up the passenger side after all the years of being capped, you'll probably get a surprise whisp-ing out of your defrosters for quite a while... and the smell isn't all that fresh!

Got the rear suspension back on after sandblasting, painting, installing new bearings, bushings, and pressing in hubs. Also bolted on a front wheel to the new 5-lug conversion for the first time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
