I could send smoke signals when I arrive

Occupy Jersey Mike's house, bring tents.

WildBillyT · 07-06-2012, 03:06 PM

I am assuming that Mike does not want to end up being starved in an abandoned well to be turned into a skin suit, so I deleted his address. Please PM him with questions regarding that.

Grazi,

I posted it for the third brake light or anything else he may need

Jersey Mike · 07-07-2012, 02:08 PM

Yeah, I saw that. I actually already PM'd him about the clips, but Paul will be here tomorrow and is bringing it with him.

Until he gets his new trans, which has the cross-member I need, there isn't a whole lot of progress to be made.

Immediate agenda:
Fuel tanks & new rear
Master and brake booster
Correctly route/fasten engine harness & ground wires
ABS module and AC stuff
Coolant reservoir

Later:
Trans x-member, torque arm & driveshaft
Assemble rear brakes
Steering shaft & gauge cluster
Radiator & trans cooler
Relocate TCS
belts & fluids, shifter, headlights, steering arm, and tighten all suspension bolts.
Then interior & paint prep.

Maybe hold a pow-wow the weekend of the 21st? Ah!!

Not sure if reading Al's build thread or Mike's. They seem the same.

Jersey Mike · 08-13-2012, 05:00 PM

Everybody's a comedian

I haven't made an update in a while, so I may as well leave a little blurb here now. Big thanks to LTb1ow for coming through with a trans cross-member and, as an added bonus, a Walboro 255 pump to throw in the tank while the tank is already out.
The driver's seat had a tear in it, and was re-upholstered and look fantastic. no more bolster tears here!
Brain @ BLS took my old filler panel and polished it up. It now looks beautiful. I'm almost afraid to put it on the car. Thank you, Brian!
I picked up another stock ported throttle body. However, this one powder-coated black, to see how I like it versus my polished one.

As far as I can think, what's currently left is:

*Paint prep
*Find & order a rubber trans mount
*Route belt
*Attach AC Dryer
*Pedals
*Steering shaft & wheel

I really hope to fire her up soon. I never would have imagined I'd be so scarce of time, but I've had nearly no opportunities to work on the car. I don't think I have worked on it more than two days in the last 2-3 weeks, sadly. However, if fate permits, perhaps I can grease a few palms and get a couple of the North Jersey guys over here via empty promises of food & beverage. Having that presence of fellow car guys by your side is the recipe to making headway; I'm not sure if it''s motivation or guilt, but something always ends up getting done. Hey, who am I to break a system that works, right?

This weekend?

MyFirstZ · 08-13-2012, 05:09 PM

Vacation, can't

LTb1ow · 08-13-2012, 05:21 PM

You can't run a damn rubber trans mount fugger

I know you want me to do poly motor mounts right now, but with the motor already back in the car, and no lift until the car is drive-able, I'm not going to touch the MMs.
Either I'll find a stock trans mount and call it a day, or I'll buy a poly trans mount and upgrade the motor mounts to poly in a few thousand miles. At the moment, I just want to get the car done and enjoy what's left of the summer.
