(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Motors out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
 It dropped out fairly easy, just went slow and kept stopping to check things since I was by myself. Was going to remove the heat exchangers and exhaust before I dropped the motor. Got one nut off, second one, the harder one to get to is a nylon lock nut (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) DAPO, can't get a socket on it, thats going to be a fun one, think I'll deal with it later. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) Well now the real work begins, cleaning, scraping, sandblasting, and painting four of my favorite things....good thing I stocked up on beer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) I think for the rest of the day I'll play with my new motor, still have the intake and exhaust to finish.

Well I ended up staying home and worked on my car today. I got the trunk and engine compartment stripped down of the bolt on parts.
The trunk needs some attention as well as the engine compartment.   Then I thought I might as well fix this as well, PO thought they needed starter access through the trunk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)  I got the battery tray cut out and cleaned up the area around it. This is what I found (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)  I knew the battery tray was toast, and had planned on replacing the engine shelf where the dealer cut for the AC install, but the rest is more severe than I had hoped for. I know when I'm beyond my capabilities, I put in a call to McMark today, looks like it's going to Original Customs sooner than I had planned, and the bill is going to be bigger. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Oh Boy! Not sure if I'll meet my deadline to get the car back on the road in time to make RRC, we'll see. If it ends up being to severe to my wallet, I may have to switch back to working on the yellow car. I need a beer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Jeff |

Talked to McMark today cars going over on Monday for the cut and weld. After work today I broke out the angle grinder and some stripping pads and cleaned up the adhesive from the engine pad, and most of the rust in the trunk. This weekend I should be able to get the rest of the surface rust sandblasted and pressure washed before it goes to Original Customs for the major rust repairs. Jeff |

Then put it on the trailer to go to Marks. Sunday is sandblast and pressure wash. Jeff |

Got home early today so I decided to finish up the exhaust and work on the intake.
Oh did I mention I bought a Triad exhaust, Dave at Triad did an awesome job, he even added the fitting for my oxygen sensor for me. He was great to deal with, can't wait to hear how it sounds. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)  The alternator and front tin and the motor is about ready to go in. Lennies914 is coming over tomorrow to help pull out the interior, and change the back window, and run some new cables, oh and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Decided to make it a work party if anyone else is free and feels like coming over, there's a thread about it somewhere in the garage. Blame Robw for the late notice...it was his idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Jeff |

The zip file I posted should extract to an msq file. You can open it with tunerstudio. I would post links but I am on my iPhone -- google it, the company who makes the software is efi analytics. The free version will get you started but I highly recommend upgrading to the paid version so you can use auto tune.
I am no ms expert but I know more than nothing, feel free to pm me questions or post them here and I'll do my best! |

Lennie came over yesterday, got the interior all pulled out, and the rocker panels removed. There was more rust under the seat area, go figure, so instead of running the new cables and lines, we chipped all the tar out in the seat area.
Most of it ended up being not to bad, a couple of spots under the passenger seat will need Marks attention, maybe one new seat bracket. At least the longs looked good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)   So today I decided to pull the pedal cluster and front carpet, and finish removing the floor tar. See what other surprises I can find, might as well find it now and get it all done while its in Sonoma. It was HOT (99) here yesterday, so we quite working on the car around 1:30 jumped in the air conditioned truck and drove to Penn Valley and picked up Lennies new toy, don't tell his wife, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) I'm sure he'll tell you all about it soon. Well got to get busy, going to be 100 today! Jeff |

Finished cleaning the tar off the front floors, the tar removal wasn't as bad as I was expecting, after everything I'd read. The seam sealer was a bit tougher, but got it cleaned out. Unfortunately under the front tar reveiled more rust and a few more holes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
 Got a few more parts to take off, a whole bunch of parts and hardware to label and get boxed up...my garage looks like a swap meet right now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) couple more hours then its time to grab a beer and go jump in the pool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/scuba.gif) Jeff |
