I’m doing a complete fuel system on a duramax. Yay. Yes it’s out there now. I work for gm.
 
I had my son pulled the heads off the 383 , sent those out to be serviced. Im still in recovery mode from a injury from Jan. So Im not able to do the tasks.

Pulling a cab to service the chassis is not a fun task. Good hours?
 
Timing chains on a F-150 with dual turbo 3.5L. Oh wait, bent two intake valves, so now pulling heads. Has 80k miles on it.

High speed placer head rebuild on one bench & a 904 trans on another bench..
 
Airplanes

Well actually I have the filter vessels ripped apart right now on two Jet A 5,000 gallon mobile fuel trucks

Inspections
 
Do I count?

I'm taking about ten 7 year old broken laptops and making six working ones because we don't have money to buy new ones and we have 4 new employees.

I've got 5 done.
 
Pulled fuel tank, replaced 3/8 line, adding a siphon pump to my in tank fuel pump so it doesn't run dry on hills. Removed intake, Edelbrock RPM, and going to cut heat crossover out of it and have it machined so it seals better after heads n block were decked. 115 outside, garage has no a/c this yr. No longer a mechanic, retired after 23yrs as a helicopter crew chief. Now just a tinkerer.

Too hot to even tinker!
 
Just had a '67 GTO dropped off today. I'll be going through all the mechanicals, brakes, suspension and swapping it back from an automatic to a 4 speed (previous owner swapped it from a 4 speed to automatic a few years ago).
It's been sitting for a couple year's so I'm sure there will be surprises.
 
Getting ready to: Align hone a '70 455 Olds block, hone the cylinders in a 6.2 LS in a Corvette, Stripping a pair of BBC 454 heads to clean and mill, The '49 Buick 320 Straight 8 is waiting for the head to be finished, and there is plenty more to do too...

Tell ya - a lot of you guys are incredible...IMHO, I'm not that bad of a mechanical sort; but some of the stuff you all do is above my pay grade. Hats off to you - next time I wear one anyway!
