    Well, I did what I said and picked up an older Chevy truck after I sold my 240z. ;) I just got it home this morning.

     

    I now have a 1972 Chevy C20 3/4 ton Camper Special. :) I paid $600.00 for this beast. She needs a few things but there is very little in the way of rust and I just happen to have an extra 350 sbc to throw in once it is re done. :D

     

    I have not had time to look every little thing over...but the truck has a 350 and I am not sure if it has the TH350 or TH400 since it is a 3/4 ton. But it runs good, sounds good, and shifts nice.

     

    Ok...here are the pics.

    Not the prettiest example of a classic Chevy truck...but very functional and workable. :)

    I got me a 650 Holley on the cheap and a 1" spacer. Got everything mounted up on the Performer intake and ready for Saturday when I put all this on my truck. :D

    sorry for quoting the pics, but it was on like page 3 and i didnt know if you guys would remember what i was talking about. but is it a bad idea to do that with bondo, b/c the next post after this one was someone talking about longevity issues. i planned on bondo-ing the same exact stuff he did. can i just glue a plate underneath it keep the bondo from falling through, then bondo, then sand accordingly?

     

    oh and what was the front air dam you got ahold of, i think its on page 3 or 4 or something? im looking for one just like that.

     

    I put steel plates behind the holes first. That is a must...I don't think the bondo would be able to support itself without it. My bondo work is still standing up...so you are on the right track. I would suggest welding the metal plate in.

     

    The front dam is an MSA I believe...not sure. :)

    I had the same problem when i tried to sell mine, everyone talked the talk, but nobody had the walk or the cash in hand.

     

    Yeah, I had one person actually come out and test drive it. But he was not ready to take on a project like mine. I can understand that.

     

    I had another guy who was nice enough to at least call and say he changed his mind. The rest make arrangements and then just don't show up and won't return calls. :(

     

    I guess I need to stop whinning and be happy that I may not sell the car. :mrgreen: I will have to get back to modifying the heck out of her.

     

    I can't wait to install what I have to put into my car after tomorrow. :)

    Got me another Z, and FINALLY a 240! (56k take a break)

    I'm actually getting a good deal on the under-tray area in the battery compartment. Having a guy cut me the metal I need out of a good Z so I can then cut mine out and fit it, trim what I don't need, and weld it in place. That'd fix that problem. The floor pan replacement kit will fix most of the other rust on the inside like I mentioned, as it's pretty much all pan related. Then in the spare tire area, a couple small pieces of sheet metal patches put in place will fix that up. As far as the trim, emblems, bumpers, all that kinda stuff that's missing, I have all that stuff, it's just not on the car right now.

     

    :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

     

    Glad to help out. Nice project...keep us posted. :)

    Small update :burnout:

     

    If my car does not sell by 11/14/09 I am going to put in an R-200 and 5spd and EI dizzy and what ever other cool thing I can find to stick into my baby. :mrgreen:

     

    I will have pics of my loot after tomorrow. :)

     

    I do not want to sell this car...but that may not be a problem. I have had 4 people just flake out...it is really disgusting how people can make you jump through hoops and waste your time just to say..."Nah, I changed my mind." :evil: This whole selling my zcar thing sucks to begin with and then to get told one thing then they don't show up just really makes for a stressful time. That is why I put a time limit on my for sale ad. I figure if it don't sell then I was destined to keep her. lol

    RULES FOR WORK- funny stuff

    in Non Tech Board

    Posted

    I read this this morning at work and could not stop laughing...sad thing is, some of this has happened to me. :mrgreen:

     

    1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4:00 and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.

     

    2. If it's really a rush job, run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it's going. That helps. Or even better, hover behind me, advising me at every keystroke.

     

    3. Always leave without telling anyone where you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.

     

    4. If my arms are full of papers, boxes, books, or supplies, don't open the door for me. I need to learn how to function as a paraplegic and opening doors with no arms is good training in case I should ever be injured and lose all use of my limbs.

     

    5. If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is priority. I am psychic.

     

    6. Do your best to keep me late. I adore this office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do. I have no life beyond work.

     

    7. If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. If that gets out, it could mean a promotion.

     

    8. If you don't like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversations. I was born to be whipped.

     

    9. If you have special instructions for a job, don't write them down. In fact, save them until the job is almost done. No use confusing me with useful information.

     

    10. Never introduce me to the people you're with. I have no right to know anything. In the corporate food chain, I am plankton. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.

     

    11. Be nice to me only when the job I'm doing for you could really change your life and send you straight to managers' hell.

     

    12. Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and it's nice to know someone is less fortunate. I especially like the story about having to pay so much taxes on the bonus check you received for being such a good manager.

     

    13. Wait until my yearly review and THEN tell me what my goals SHOULD have been. Give me a mediocre performance rating with a cost of living increase. I'm not here for the money anyway.
