A crayon on the belt will quiet it down as a temp check

Looks great David your getting close now getting excited?

I did learn a little trick a while back by mistake but it works great. Go to the dollar store and go to the bathroom cleaner isle and get a prodect called the works toilet bowl cleaner its in a white bottle with a blue lable. pour some on the fitting very carefully let it sit for a while then repete. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SPILL ON ANYTHING YOU DONT WANT RUINED this stuff is acid and burns like heck. it will help remove the rust. make sure you rinse it off afterwards and it will eat skin and clothes so be carefull. but its great for removing rust it melts it away. Oh yea it works pretty good on calicum build up on toilets too.

They came out real nice now you just gotta get them burnt up a bit

not sure how

It may be to late for you but if you havent been into one for a while or ever its better to lay all the parts out on the bench in order as you take them out that way they can go back in the same way. Thats how they tought us in gm school. Of corst after the 3rd or 4th time the instructor would move parts around and take parts out and not tell us untill it was back together if we didnt figure it out. Also check your repair manual some of them have a pretty good breakdown. Good luck.

The b&m kit dont look to bad at all and not really that expensive eather

What no 92.1 how can you live without that. Gotta have oldies in a monte

Dont use a torch it would make a mess

Alrighty here we go the drivers side is done but I have to turn the car around in the garage to do the other side so heres the pictures And the trunk too Now I have to fix the brakes the master cylinder looks like its been seeping out the back so I ordered a new one today I really didnt need any of that tax return I guess. Thanks for all the kind words. Not to bad for not knowing what I am doing eh?

There is a tool for that lock plate. You can get it apart without it but getting it back together is nearly impossable. Its simply called a steering lock plate tool. good luck

Sweet that looks and sounds fantistic good work

Let me look at that rob dont throw it away

Very nice car Stephanie and really great cause. I usuly do the show here locally put on by the Carol Baldwin foundation Beach days its a fund raised for breast cancer.

How effective are the additives I saw that stabil has one out for that? I was going to try it this year. Lets see now, an additive for the oil (zinc)an additive for the gas (lead substute) and now another for the gas. Its getting even more expensive to fill up and change the oil.

That looks to purdy to start up and run but make sure theres a video when you do. Great job.

I wouldnt swear to it but I belive the front of the tranny where it bolts to the motor is the same on all. Im not that farmiler with bb

Very nice car

The th400 is a good tranny

Yea they are a killer and I am using the set they sent they have no cusion on the handles I think I should have spent a few bucks and got a better set. Oh well its almost done.

Carpet is in, rear seat is done and in, front seat bottom is done and in, seat belts are in. Just have to finish up the front seat backs and final trimming on carpet. This old body said not today to the rest. Everything on me hurts even my hurt hurts. Still to much salt to take it out anyhow now we need some more rain. Pictures will follow when complete.

I bought a new set of blades and of corse there black so I removed the rubber part and painted the metal silver to match and reinstalled. then I decided they really didnt match so I removed the arms and the blades again cleaned and skuffed them and repainted the whole unit then cleared over the whole thing then reinstalled. Gee now that I look at it thats an awfull lot of work for something i've only used 4 times but it does look good.

Like Tony said lacquer thinner on a rag but dont get it on the paint you dont want removed.

The front bottom proved to be the most difficult a lot of pulling tuggging and stretching and of course cutting. But I wrestled with it for a while tonight untill my daughter got home. Then we had our triditional green beer together as we do every year in honer of my dad. He would have been 90 today. Him and I started doing it when I was just a kid and my daughter joined us when she was 16 now its just her and I. Any how heres the seat almost complete. The next pictures will be when its all back together.

350 not ss with air side mounts orig as far as I know
