[unstable bob gable]

Too bad it ain't spring yet...I'd let ya rebuild my T-Type's front end...lol

Gimme a holla, I always have some kinda crappola going on. :)

[BobonaStick]

ahh... I see... That makes sense... I think I'll pass on the clinton... and go 90 as I pass through

[jims69camaro]

i'm going to be tackling the '87 this year. disassemble to fit a roll cage. reassemble minus the rear seat. rear firewall, fuel cell, fuel pump. rear suspension, sfc, front suspension. pull old motor out, drop 406 in. prep body for paint. it's a lot of work, but i have a lot of time on my hands. i am hoping by the end of summer to have it rolling under its own power. if you choose to help, you could naturally choose which projects you want to get involved with and what you wanted to learn, since i'll be hitting just about every area on the car at least once during the year.

[jims69camaro]

p.s. i almost forgot. there is only one way to learn your way around a wrench, and that's to use it.

excellent point. I think he just needs a little experienced guidance so he doenst get in over his head, get frustrated and give up.

Like everyone else said, If you need any help, we're all here. :)

[bad64chevelle]

[camaro2you]

Cody haven't u ever used Map Quest u lazy ass!

JW :D

haha u know it.

besides im a ******* i picked my motor up in clinton damn i gotta pay more attention.




Ill be putting another rear in my car in about a week or two if you wanted to get a way down here and watch/help out/ learn.

[V]

yea, working on cars is only learned by.. well, working on cars... To learn about engines, get an engine..and take it apart, then rebuild it by reading up about it and talking to people who know their stuff, lol, thats how i learned, and hell, it even runs good after i put it all back together.

This winter i gotta rebuild another engine, do a 95 v6 camaro motor swap, 94 z28 suspension swap, pull the engine from my ss and drop a drivetrain in my bronco.... i'd say you could come and help/watch..but...i'm sorta an ******* to work with on my own projects. haha. plus i never really know when i'll be working on what.

[BigAls87Z28]

Im always around to offer any assistance. You might wana start off with light stuff...like installing headers on my 72 :) GET CRACKIN NEWB!!

[WayFast84]

[jims69camaro]

sounds good you want to show me how to first like help me install my headers :lol:

now you're learning...

[WayFast84]

what did i learn?

[nj85z28]

what did i learn?


LOL apparantly nothing

[jims69camaro]

what did i learn?
LOL apparantly nothing

the barter system. i'll help with your headers if you show me how to do mine. it's the very basics of the automotive mechanic's community, before they started learning how to charge $65 an hour to change your spark plugs and rotate your tires.

[WayFast84]

damn If I charged my self 65 an hour to do my own spark plugs id have like $250 ( yeh Im slow)

[BigAls87Z28]

sounds good you want to show me how to first like help me install my headers :lol:

Yeah, ill make it quick..

Open hood
Unbolt exhaust manifolds from y pipe
Unbolt exhaust manifolds from cyl heads
Bolt up new headers to cyl heads
start car
Listen to bad ass engine
have neighbors, parents, and/or cops tell you to turn it off
turn off car
Wait 20 mins
Turn it back on again
have neighbors, parents, and/or cops tell you not to do that again
turn it off
Connect y pipe to headers
Start engine again real quick
turn off before you get in trouble
attach y pipe to rest of exhaust

ok? Now, my 72 should he a cake walk with 100x more room then a third gen.

[WayFast84]

you make it sound so easy! I wish it were that easy! I mean I must have spent an hour under the hood of my car and I just ended stipping bolts on my air tube...:oops:

[Ian]

Now, my 72 should he a cake walk with 100x more room then a third gen.

it will be MUCH easier! When I did the headers in my second gen, the driver side dropped right in from the top. For the passenger side one I had to take the starter out and it dropped in from the top as well. I also had to deal with the huge AC/HVAC housing, but suprisingly it didnt get in my way.

[Ian]

you're still running the air pump!?!?! get rid of that!

[WayFast84]

you're still running the air pump!?!?! get rid of that!NOPE the air tubes still on it but no air pump that blew up in my face man was I pissed!

[Savage_Messiah]

sounds abotu right :lol:

Best way to learn is to just do it. Ask questions when you get stuck. I've learned everything about working on cars/trucks/boats by just doing it myself. If you want to learn how to rebuild an engine, trans or rear, then that gets more involved and takes some specialized tools to make sure you do it right(if it's high performance). Heck, I could've used ya last night to finish hacksawing the intermediate pipe on my SS. The Sawzall could only get 3/4 of the way through because of the tunnel so I had to finish sawing it by holding the blade in my hand! It took about 2 hours when it should have taken minutes. But as you've already learned, things don't always go the way you hope they do.

was there a reason why you couldn't hack the pipe enough to make room for the saw? damn, that's nuts. i surely would've resorted to some other cutting means besides holding a blade in my hand for two hours. a ferd wrench and a screwdriver, or something. then again, i am not known for being very patient...

Yes, as long as the starter is out of the way, headers are very easy on that car. My headers were pretty easy to drop in from the top, but that was in a 3rd gen with practically nothing but the motor in the engine bay.

Psssh...already been there. I did headers on my 87, I know how bad it is, and I have the scars to prove it.

Prolly better off starting a new thread with your current (and final) plan for the car before you start asking for help again.

no no, not for my car, I just wanna get a better idea of how cars work and stuff, even if that means hand some one tools.
