I like to think of like with giant eagle's wings, and singin' lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an angel band and I'm in the front row and I'm hammered drunk!Melon wrote:Y'all motherfuckers need Jesus.

Can't wait to see this thang in person.
Decided on a plate yet?
It has an antique plate, so before I apply for a personalized plate, I have to have the car re-assessed. But, it's orange now, so I need to change that on the registration first. And then submit pictures to the state. Not a big deal, I just can't do it right now.
Still leaning towards E30ROCK

I was concerned when I never heard back from you, and you didn't show up on here for a few days.
Where in TX are you?

Found a good deal on an OEM toolkit.
Got some bitchin' reproduction stickers made, with the fuereorange color code!
I have all the rest, from emissions diagrams, to tire tables. I even have a decal for a coolant recall done in the 90's.
Installed a windage tray.
New oil pan, and subframe in, along with the new steering rack.
Installed the brake booster into the car.

Started working on the electrical systems, and wiring.
Continued to finish up various items in the engine bay, headers, O2 sensor, coolant overflow, brake lines, belts etc., and installed a strut tower bar.
Refurbished gauge cluster came in.
Installed the dashboard.
Put the grill back on for good, and set the car on the ground.

I ran in the cam, and changed the oil, the coolant is bled, and she hold a steady temp.
The valves make a lot of noise, to be expected, I'll put about 300-500 miles on the car before I adjust them, and it's idling about 1000rpm, should be closer to 700rpm, so I have to address that. Otherwise, once it ran there were zero issues, no leaks, no nothing. I'm pretty happy that I took an engine down to the rotating assembly, re-worked everything, and it worked the first time.
Coming up:
I got a 10-day break for Christmas coming up from work.
Going to get the interior wiring fixed, and tidied up, install the radio,speakers, headliner, and get as much of the interior done as possible.
After that, it's the rear end, and she'll be driving.
