Challenge accepted!!!

I could send smoke signals when I arrive :shrug:

Occupy Jersey Mike's house, bring tents.

I am assuming that Mike does not want to end up being starved in an abandoned well to be turned into a skin suit, so I deleted his address. Please PM him with questions regarding that.

Grazi,
Do you have one of these? The two local parts stores weren't able to find them for me...

Go to a GM dealer. Any of em. If you want Il see if the caddy or gm dealer on 17 have em or can get one tomorrow

Told you weeks ago they wouldn't have it.

lame

from you to mikes ? your on drugs

saleen mustang wheels !

I posted it for the third brake light or anything else he may need

Yeah, I saw that. I actually already PM'd him about the clips, but Paul will be here tomorrow and is bringing it with him.


Until he gets his new trans, which has the cross-member I need, there isn't a whole lot of progress to be made.


Immediate agenda:
Fuel tanks & new rear
Master and brake booster
Correctly route/fasten engine harness & ground wires
ABS module and AC stuff
Coolant reservoir



Later:
Trans x-member, torque arm & driveshaft
Assemble rear brakes
Steering shaft & gauge cluster
Radiator & trans cooler
Relocate TCS
belts & fluids, shifter, headlights, steering arm, and tighten all suspension bolts.
Then interior & paint prep.


Maybe hold a pow-wow the weekend of the 21st? Ah!!

So the phoenix is stuck in the TSA line?

MIke,

Not sure if reading Al's build thread or Mike's. They seem the same.

Everybody's a comedian :rolleyes:



I haven't made an update in a while, so I may as well leave a little blurb here now. Big thanks to LTb1ow for coming through with a trans cross-member and, as an added bonus, a Walboro 255 pump to throw in the tank while the tank is already out.
The driver's seat had a tear in it, and was re-upholstered and look fantastic. no more bolster tears here!
Brain @ BLS took my old filler panel and polished it up. It now looks beautiful. I'm almost afraid to put it on the car. Thank you, Brian!
I picked up another stock ported throttle body. However, this one powder-coated black, to see how I like it versus my polished one.


As far as I can think, what's currently left is:

*Paint prep
*Find & order a rubber trans mount
*Route belt
*Attach AC Dryer
*Pedals
*Steering shaft & wheel


I really hope to fire her up soon. I never would have imagined I'd be so scarce of time, but I've had nearly no opportunities to work on the car. I don't think I have worked on it more than two days in the last 2-3 weeks, sadly. However, if fate permits, perhaps I can grease a few palms and get a couple of the North Jersey guys over here via empty promises of food & beverage. Having that presence of fellow car guys by your side is the recipe to making headway; I'm not sure if it''s motivation or guilt, but something always ends up getting done. Hey, who am I to break a system that works, right? :kneeslap:


This weekend?

Vacation, can't

You can't run a damn rubber trans mount fugger

I know you want me to do poly motor mounts right now, but with the motor already back in the car, and no lift until the car is drive-able, I'm not going to touch the MMs.
Either I'll find a stock trans mount and call it a day, or I'll buy a poly trans mount and upgrade the motor mounts to poly in a few thousand miles. At the moment, I just want to get the car done and enjoy what's left of the summer.
