What have you guys been working on?

Nothing. I have a 60 degree rule in the spring, below which I don't wrench. When fall comes along, it's normally a 54 degree rule. What I need is to get a new house with at least a well insulated, preferably heated garage. As it sits, the current one is too small and too drafty to get any real work or heat done in the actual garage. All my work has taken place just outside in the driveway.

It's never been too hot to wrench though.

I put my Cutlass into storage Halloween weekend and probably won't go get it til sometime in April. Hopefully by then, I'll have a TH350 built and ready to toss in. Aside from that, no plans for the car next year, especially with a wedding in June.

Meh, sucks you can't edit with less than 100 posts.

Was just going to comment it's no big deal but she's losing oil, I think from running hotter (thinning out the oil allowing it to leak more) with a 192 t-stat.

still putting some extras on the 63 SUPER STOCK....then after world of wheels...putting in a new blown big block in the 69 chevelle at the shop....

Re-register, ditch smog crap, headers, gears, shift kit, tune-up, rear brakes.....might be missing something

**2SLOW** · 12-13-2007, 10:49 PM

I think some time in the next few weeks I'm going to swing over by tom at OTE. My Buick has been over there for a long time

Already paid for my cage just need to go put my doors on and interior back in so Tom can bend the cage. Otherwise than that its a new paint job this winter, bigger snail, injectors, and installing the loads of crap I have compiled over the last year when she was down cause funds ran out
