Filled the dirty whore up, then this evening I cleaned the interior up good, wiped everything down, and treated the leather.

Finally had the 3" downpipe and Borla Exhaust installed today. I've had it for almost two years and have been procrastinating installing it. I bit the bullet and had someone install it for me.

Separated transmission from engine... Gotta clean the thing up and then mate it with built engine.

painted a spoiler.



just waiting for it to dry, and then it'll get some clear coat and some 2500 grit, then another few coats of clear. lol

Well yesterday I got up and I treated her good. I detailed under the hood and gave the exterior a good hand wash and chamoised it dry. Put some back to black on the lower bumper trims and cleaned the windows with some Stoners.

Got myself cleaned up and went to a long time friends place for kickoff Saturday to watch football all day. A few hours later he asked me to move my car to another spot and when I went to do so I get CLICK and nothing.

Pop the hood and everything comes back, CLICK and nothing. I had to crawl through my back seat to pull the emergency latch on the trunk so I could access my tools and jumper cables since in GMs infinite wisdom the didn't put a keyhole in the trunk and if you don't have battery power you can't pop the trunk.

Anyway, I pulled the positive terminal off and cleaned it up good and the whore fired right up after that. I know why she did it though. I had literally just minutes before been talking to my buddy about needing to get rid of it and get something else.

Did me some GTP wash and black waxing yesterday, been dirty for a month. Made a sun shade for my f'd arm so it isn't cooked and aching when I get to work.

Also replaced my ailing dash cam with a $40 WM special that had a bad mem card right out of the box. Heres a sample 40-60 punch:

That means take one or 2 back out.

I dropped to 18

Should be good now, also added more crank fuel because frosty guide has been more of a "close enough" but still decently off.

Used racekar GTP to haul home a new 2.5 HP 21 gal air compressor.

Feeling a little guilty because its just tire air and I dropped two bills for it plus extra oil, hoses, and accessories. Aired up the tires on the 72 but hell I still can't push it by myself so plan B. Is there any other home uses for compressed air that I might



Heeey, wait a minute. I could... oh yeah do other car stuff!

Plumb the house with air lines

Because why not

should you have a sprinkler system you can use it to blow out the lines come winter and not pay the sprinkler guy.



and air tools!!!!!

I broke it again... Somehow the rad cap came completely off while heading to get some better compound for le spoiler, spewed all over the belt and made a terrible screeching... Thankfully I didn't get too far before realizing something was wrong. Lol

Did plugs and wires on a friends 98 today. Car had p0300 and unknown mileage plugs and wires. Soon as I went to put the socket on #2 I dropped it and the engine ate it could not find it. Then on the front wires I slammed my hand into the fans and cut myself. He's having a weird issue if he let's off the gas doing like 40 as the rpms get around 1k the rpms just dip to like 700 then go back up. No missfires on DHP. MAF signal wasn't tanking or being screwy, 02 appeared to be fine. So had me kinda stumped.

Hey that looks like my place but with better wheels. Don't cut your hand. 3800s do eat plugs, never to be found.

I figure I can bring my 2nd string air tools to the house. Then I'd be a welder away!
