Thread: What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

Hey, at least I don't have a vac leak like I did before going crazy with ultra grey.

Elaborate please... each sentence has a mystery. Is it a riddle? Dirt daubers in the tank vent hose, ruptured booster diaphragm. How many inches of mercury under the carb?

Cap'n Breakitloose, try while the engine is still hot maybe. Try to twist rather than pulling straight up? Penetrating oil? Never had mine off yet so I don't know what you're up against.

It's about to go back together and I'll take it to my buddies, wrap a chain around it and use his engine hoist on it.

I read this last night and nearly spit out my dinner laughing so hard. I feel your pain; my buddy used grey RTV on his diff cover, then I bought the axle and was going to change the fluid. Took me about 30 minutes of fighting to get the cover off.

Use blue or black RTV; it bonds well but still comes apart with minimal effort.

that is the car in question

what happened is the gas tank keeps on inploding even with the gas cap off idk why but as of last night its sold. It really makes me sad to see it go after 6 years of work underneath. it has a fresh rebuilt motor that has less than 500 miles on it its a complete matching numbers car we went from the front and worked our way back ever nut every bolt was painstakingly bead blasted by me every little part was also sand blasted as well and repainted to the proper shade when it rolled off the line. it has all new stainless steel line from the front to the back. we had the 4 speed m-20 and the rear end rebuilt. hell we even got the purple pcv valve in it. all it need was a paint job and the correct interior plus chrome. Im going to really miss this car since so much work had been put in it.


Idrivejunk i was going ask you if your company wanted to buy it lol but we still have a chevelle and the 40 caddilac.

Put roof rails on

Put rear shocks on my sisters 06 equinox. Still cant get it to start after putting lock cylinder in it, started twice, once for each key it came with, and now nothing. Acts like a dead battery.

Changed oil in my g6 yesterday, installed wizair cai in my 01 gp yesterday

Boss is a Furd nut lol. I want a Chevelle, unload it here. The Camaro must be nice! Those have a fuel standpipe (early evap component), maybe its clogged or damaged. Cap off should fix that though, strange yes.

No GTP today, GT and GP only but I did make noise with Dad's resurrected 1946 Clinton chainsaw. He got it for $50 in '63.

Trees beware.

Ok first off wth is wrong with him lol GM FOR LIFE lol. It's a 72 chevelle rag top with a 350 and a 4 barrel Carter. Yes its factory that way. Also it orange but it looks just like the red one on westcoastcars.net those were all my dad's cars no not even one is left. The camaro was from Missouri but had perfect floors and trunk.

whats a safety feature? lol that thing is hell on wheels i bet.

We only drove or should I say I drove it under 500 miles doo it just sat since 2006. And yeah it was a fun car

Well, already had a 72 way back when and not into ragtops. I could really go for a 68 or 70 el Camino SS clone though. Wow his 38 Buick woulda been my choice.

If yer talking bout ol Clint, he has tasted blood before. A friend of Dad's was using it and found a square nail like 50 years deep, took a bad bounce and nipped some face. That guy was glad its so heavy lol

that gas tank is f ing huge too for chain saw. id not want to meet a chain saw blade. nasty little fers. even off they can f you up good.

Dad pointed out the chain, chisel type. The teeth aren't curved but square and yes still pretty sharp. If you was here I'd put you on it for five minutes and you'd have permagrin lol.

Wouldn't be surprised if all the leads just fell off when it saw ya

Made Sasquatch run like hell, lol.

id make you sign a death/dismemberment clause lol

No doubt! I just surfed it up... not as old as he thought, they were introduced in 59. I'll research the tag for him. Still yeah... a man's chain saw lol. 73.4 cc

That kick back tho.

Finally upgraded the brakes today, it stops a million times better now.
