Not to change the subject but....... I sandblasted the heater box parts tonight!! Everyone see that??? LOL

---

 We don't care anymore, we're watching porn !!

Some evidence from yesterdays work. Had to work overtime at my day job so I lost half a Saturday but ...had my apprentice back home so I picked up a few hours.  We had a couple problems: #1 the sandblaster needed some attention to get it working back to 100% -did that. #2 I know I am missing some parts...so we had to pull everything off the selves again to look- did that but didn't find what I was looking for. 

With the sandblaster working better, Ben touched up the heater box parts while I took apart the brake assembly.  I cleaned all the small parts that were galvanized and we painted the rest of the stuff either semi gloss black or bare steel.

 

Good work Glenn...Keep on him

Ben and I put the heater box in and the brake pedal assembly. The heater box I think is in to stay but the brake pedal is in loose until the steering column is in for keeps. Plus the master cylinder actuating rod couldn't be found either. We then had to completely clean up the shop, move all the boxes and pack up all the parts so I could work on my brother-in -laws truck box. Back to some bodywork for a bit. Ben and I are also putting together an order list for parts from Summit and Chevy II only, and Hawks third gen Camaro supply so we can keep all the projects rolling. The plan is to roll right into the 67 Chevy II sedan this winter as well. Got to keep the watchers happy and the whip quiet. LOL

Hey Slab whats going on??? Hope you haven't fallen off the WAGON!!! (pun intended) Grumps and I are looking for updates!!!

 The kid and I are wrapping up a few "must do " projects to clear out the shop. They aren't old stuff so I didn't take pics. Had to get my wife's mini van ready to sell which meant new rockers, some rust and dent repair on the hatch and a quick paint job on the hatch.  A little spit shine too. The first guy to look at it snapped it up and it's gone!  The next project is my brother in laws truck box.  Got it from the wreckers for $200.00 but has lots of dents but no rust problems. So today I am out in the shop fixing dents and getting it ready to paint.  This project is what funded the shrinker/stretcher and the bead roller purchase(good trade EH??).  Ben and I also spent a couple nights or more,  making a big list of what we need to order for all three projects. Some minor stuff to finish up the wagon and some major stuff to get the Camaro pretty much done(ball joints , tie rods , headliner, shift kit etc etc etc)  And the project that I've mentioned briefly (67 chevy II) , I put in a big order for the parts for that. Everything from cam and lifters to shocks, ball joints etc etc etc.  We are going over to see Greg(pandorasbox off Steve's nova site) in Batavia NY to pick up all the stuff this weekend coming up.  Pretty excited about everything. Ben's 16 now and really wanting to get started.  His first order of business will be figuring out the wiring harness to get that computer working.  The wagon will be rolling good soon but I couldn't tie up a bay with it up in the air on stands until the other stuff got done. Then it's switch the oil pan and get the underside stuff done (brake and fuel lines etc etc) . Lots of good things coming up.  Stay tuned!!  LOL

Alright thats what we like to hear.

Sounds like a fun day out. Say hi to Ben for me.

 It was rainy and wet but still fun.  We had rubber boots and rain coats but our pants got soaked!!

John is a real expert at the "pickers game" and would give those TV guys a run for their money I bet!! He was in and under and through pretty well everything in there. LOL

JPB is John's handle on the site.. Great Guy!

Good work Ben,will be a sweet piece when your finished!

Great Job Ben and Welcome to the site. Perhaps you should start your own build thread to show your progress. If there are parts and pieces you need post up a list and don't be afraid to ask before spending cash. I am sure most here would gladly help out a youngster if they can. Keep up the good work. Regards Kurt

 Yea Kurt ...that's Dad's fault.  I posted his project in this thread just because.  Ben said yesterday he was thinking of starting his own when he got more done but I guess it would be better in his own thread.  When he comes back from his Mom's next week we"ll start one up and move his pics into it.  You've been a big source of encouragement for him and I know he appreciates it as well as me. Thanks Rich

Hey Grumps. The creeper is actually still in the back of the neon, but thank you very much for it anyways. Ill put it to good use when the time comes!

Thanks Kurt for the welcome and the encouragement as well, just like my dad said. It will certainly help the drive in the long run.

I agree with you as well, Ziggy. By working through the car and putting all of the hard work into it, it certainly increases the appreciation value, not only for just my car, but all cars in general, because to get a car to the point of restored always takes hard work and dedication.

Thank you, Janice!

Hey Dad. Thanks Ill probably do it within the next couple of days. :D

....Or 2

Hi Joe

Won't be long Old dude and I'll be bringing them back to ya.

The dollies are out from under the car Olddude and I will be bringing them back pretty soon so I can stop in for a little breeze shooting. 

Pictures to follow but the car is on stands with the hood and fenders back off.  Switched the steering box and dropped the oil pan. New oil pan is painted and ready to go on.  That little 283 looks perfect inside. I was thinking it might have surface rusted the walls but nope!!  motor turns free and the guts are all shinny new.  That motor was rebuilt and I put forged 9:1 pistons, Performer cam and lifters, new push rods, timing chain, heads were ported and polished with manly valves. It's not a rocket but it was built right and might have 5000 miles on it.  Can't wait to hear some Vroom vroom.
