Trying to sort out the Coronet brakes. Again . Put the new warrantied master cylinder on Thursday, still need to bleed the system.
 
Cleaning the garage to get ready for my car to return so I can finish the interior:)
 
Another truck transmission install over the weekend.
We are getting quite good at them 3 hours and everything back in.
We did have a mystery no start condition where the starter would briefly try to energize and quit.
It's 24 year old truck so we checked everything, removed and bench tested the old starter.
Cleaned every bolt and connection and stuck it back in.
Seems good so far.

Installed my headliner in my D300 on Saturday, came out OK. I could've taken a few more minutes to do it 100% right, but I got rushed. Still looks pretty good, overall. Also hooked up the auxiliary lights up front, and started into the truck heater restoration on Sunday.

Just put front disc brakes from Wilwood. On the runner. Just could not get the drums to work out. Would not turn round where egg shaped from the get go. Lot of shake and shimmy when driving. Now it is a smooth ride and stopping power is a lot better.
 
Fixing a H-pipe, flares were cockeyed and wouldn't seal. top picture driver pipe was hardest fix.

Finished up my k member today. Did it like dvw did his. I like it this way an once I get it in I will like it better.
 
Also working on firewall welding up all the wholes that I don't need. Then I will get the engine bay ready to test fit the engine and Trans.
 
Went trailer-hunting at the auction today. Unreal how high junk trailers are going for.

Watched the Kentucky Derby. Winning horse was 80-1 at the gate! Very cool race!

Mowing today and tomorrow.
 
Still staring at my I-swear-I'm-gonna-install-it-soon Terminator X-Stealth EFI kit:rolleyes:!!

Actually I'm in the process of doing some re-working of the factory harnesses to better suit my specific installation. There's things that could be done better, and some things I won't be using so those wires are getting de-pinned and sealed at the connectors. Once this project gets going, the EFI and any associated circuits will be completely separate from any factory wiring.

Pulled it apart 2 weeks after I bought it.
The entire front suspension K frame and all came out , new ball joints, bushings, shocks , etc etc
Pull the engine to repair leaking core plug in the head , painted and detailed everything while it was out

Got all new hoses, belts, plugs , wires , etc etc etc , Needless to say it snowballed bigtime

Fired it up for the 1st time since then today. It lives again. ( finally ) Exhaust manifolds were media blasted since these pics were taken
Goes in next week for manifolds back dual exhaust system. I got rid of the headers .
