Got a lot done actually today, more to do tomorrow for me at least. Joe Buckle got his new transmission installed, I got my front sway bar and front Koni's installed and reidexed the front torsion bars. The car sits really low and is so firm it bounces. I may raise it up a little tomorrow. During a test drive, it blew out a push rod seal and was spewing oil everywhere. Little trail up the driveway. I also hooked up the heater hoses so I can have heat and defrost now. After people started leaving, I kept working on it. Removed the HE's and heater sheetmetal. It got dark on me so I will get back on it tomorrow after 1 job in the morning in Anaheim Hills. I will get the rear sway bar mounts welded in, rear shocks broken loose, and replace all of the pushrod tube seals and adjust the valves. I just wish I had the new rear shocks and springs so I could be done with everything in the back. Then I would only need to do the body work after that, I think. Anyway, here are some pictures so you all can get to know what the people look like for the WCC. Even the kids came out with the parents.

A new member stopped by to have us check out his car. His name is Scott and his son Sam in hiding behind him. We hope to see more of him to fix up his car. I dont remember his name on the Club though.

Yup, its a midget, belongs to one of the guys who lives in the area and he takes care of that rec center.
Here is Joe actually working on his own car by himself cause everyone was doing something else. You can never say he doesnt work on his own car. Attached thumbnail(s) |

How does Mark open the shaved doors of his white car from the outside? Just curious what he set up. Looks nice.

That is what everyone says when they see his car. You really need to see it to believe it. He has a remote with 4 buttons to open different doors and trunk and alarm. Pretty cool. |

Life's been good to me so far..... Group: Admin Posts: 15,436 Joined: 11-September 03 From: Hurst, TX. Member No.: 1,143 Region Association: NineFourteenerVille |
IF the engine compartment release is still inside the car, and there are no outside door handles how is he going to get in when the battery goes dead??????
Guess you could break a window..... |
