hey boobs, get some 4th gen camaro headlights and redo the mounting so they stack where that movie screen headlight was. ?

I was looking at those the other day, they are cool looking enough to fool with but maybe not very good lamps.

Might take some modification but pending the size you should be able to use them.. But like everything nothing's a direct fit. Yay another project for you to keep busy until you color match that damn hood.. Oops

Eh, I think I'll just start from scratch on the fog lights. I looked into it awhile ago but I don't remember what all I found out. I have bigger fish to fry right now though, like the rocker panels and a better transmission build. and tuning.

Pssh those are all minor repairs :)

If I had the money and time it would be. I need probably around a grand or so and 2 weeks off work. And a bigger shop. and another vehicle to drive while I do all this. And a grand.

Don't you have that ford truck

Yea, but I need to do some stuff to it first. I need to get another battery for it, a new valve body, new transmission pan, oil pan, and various other little things. Everything that went wrong is my fault, not Fords (before everyone starts blaming Ford). Well, I guess technically it's Transgo's fault. They sell a kit with a higher governor and shift kit together, then they sell then separately. I bought and put them apart and put them in and it shifts like ****. Slams in and out of overdrive, holds 1st until 35 MPH no matter what, etc. Transmission pan leaks because the drain plug I put in leaks, etc. you get the idea.

The Good:
Front Strut bar is installed
Front brakes are done
Passenger rear brakes are done
I actually have a parking brake now, damn near everything was broke on that
Coolant Tank is FINALLY back in
All the spark plugs are in and connected
Trailing arms are replaced, brackets are being hot tanked.
The Bad:
Driver side rear brake piston seal was leaking, so that's not going to get here til Wednesday. I also got rained out today, so I didn't get as much done as I'd of liked. I might go back out and work some more. I hope to have her on the road Wednesday or Thursday. Pics:
Front Passenger brakes (freshly turned, just got rained on):


Rear Passenger, new trailing arm in this pic too:

Old bent Passenger trailing arm:

Coolant tank, which I actually spent quite a bit of time sanding smooth, painting, etc. Of course you don't see it very much.

Front Strut Bar ($5 at a JY):

More electrolysis fun, you can see the before next to the pan. The one soaking was the worst of the two:

Finished, but what i don't have a pic of is the finished painted product (still drying):

Tomorrow we're supposed to get more rain, but maybe I can get the starter and TQ converter bolts in. While it's raining I'll work on the headlights or something.

Is that a Crosman 760 Powermaster sitting in the background?

I got a brass reciever 760XL for my 12th birthday. It was stolen during college. I miss that thing. Just don't hear of em evey day!

No, not a metal receiver one. I see them on Ebay from time to time. I have a fair amount of pellet guns as well all in different states of modification. My 760 all you hear is the hammer spring twang and a thunk at whatever it hits Lol.

Jeff

Ya know I don't know what kind of pellet gun that is. I know it sucks and doesn't work worth a ****, lol. I had a pest problem and my buddy lent it to me to take care of it...It fires about 1 out of 10 BBs, if that. We won't even talk about accuracy....

You gotta shoot pellets with them. It was my primary sniper weapon in what is called "The Great Squirrel War of 2003'". It was called into action and fitted with a 32mm 4X scope and Lead Dust Collector. It was accurate to 1" at 25 yards.

Jeff

Brings back a lot of memories. I was really an asshole when I got my first pellet gun. I regret it, I really do, but my dad shouldn't have put so many bird feeders in our yard :(

I've got a sweet little honey of a one-pump Daisy squirrel bonker. For BBs. Like $20 at WM, Booba. But they make Daisys here in NWA, maybe we get the primos on our shelves. My 760XL reciever was brass-plated, I should have said. It did like pellets best.

I shot a few birds when I got a pellet gun, but it wasn't putting meat on the table or controlling pests so I didn't do it again, I remember hunting once and was turned loose with a 20ga and shot a Killdeer because I thought it was a quail and felt bad. This squirrel deal was them tearing into the house and ripping the ducting and storing nuts in the attic. After putting up several 1x4's and getting them chewed through in a few days they needed to be thinned. We had 3 pecan trees and a tons of nests throughout the neighborhood. I'm country I like squirrel. Too bad most of them were too small.

the crosmans are easy to work on and modify you can add a rifled barrel with them and shoot 3/8" groups with decent pellets. I've got a couple 1377's and 2240's and a 2300kt

Jeff

^ I'd be interested on modding a pellet gun for more punch. I love that they basically come in a .22 caliber now. I'm considering buying one for those silent but deadly times I need to make a shot on a pest
