Get your transmission reinstalled, another thing checked off on your list of things to do. Smooth sailing with your surgery too. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thanks Rob. 

I was in so much pain on the way home, we almost turned back 😢. No pain meds prescribed, just ibuprofen and some cbd gummies my buddy gave me from last time. Much better now that those things are kicking in.

Glad you are feeling better with the meds.  Don't get too used to them though.

Hang in there buddy.

Nah, no worries about that. Thank you!

[DragCat]

Glad you're on the way home, getting released is half the battle, I'm afraid of the gummies, lost an old filling over a year ago. Luv my dentist but also nicknamed him Dr Pain🤣

(edit) disclaimer the filling wasn't lost eating cbd gummies or any other "edibles" 🤣I know how some of you profile people with long hair 🤣

Good to hear you are starting your recovery.  Wishing you all the best.

It's been almost 4 years, two frame off restorations, and putting up a new building, but the end table has finally come full circle. My very first post here had the LS6 454 serving as the end table in the shop. Finally spent a couple of days cleaning the original, numbers matched 402 from the Monte to take the LS6's place as the shop table. Need to find a better air cleaner though.

Nope. Not buying it, that’s the same one. 76 Impala smog motor that you picked up for 35 bucks and made look pretty. Nice job on the glass though. Ha ha. Just kidding. It looks great.

You're just mad because I mistook you for Mark earlier. You always hurt the ones you love, 🤣

It'll never go back in the car in my lifetime. If someone gets it after I croak, it needs a total rebuild.

Not mad at all. That was an easy mistake. I could have, should have and probably would have had he not done it first. It was early and I wasn’t on my game. I’m sorry I disappointed you. Lol. How’s that for irony, your mistake, his comment and I apologize. Something is wrong with me. ( shut up).

Thanks Willie. 

Nah, just more parts, junk, etc. finds its way onto any flat surface out here.

Ain't that the truth, it's amazing how quickly junk collects.

I forgot this picture of the end table cleanup.

Still needed to glass bead it after to really clean it up, but it certainly helped a bit to wash it first.

I remember a story of an engine blowing up and the cause was blasting media left in the intake manifold. Be careful!

No worries there, Bruce. The manifold/engine is just for show. If I had plans of running it, I would have cleaned it a LOT better, multiple times and methods.

Thanks though, that blast media would work wonders on the pistons, rings, cylinders, etc.

Man, I certainly do like your parts washer !!

I wonder how well that would go over at my house !!  I can't wait to explain it to the wife 😂

My girlfriend just laughed. She figured we'd be shopping for a new dishwasher by the end of the day 😁
