I have a pedal holder i made for doing alignments,works good for holding pedal. Had to troll through 3,000 ish photos to find it. 3/8” rod with a slightly larger hole in flat bar. Push rod to depress pedal, slide bar up to seat and it holds pedal down. Lots of walking. No waiting for helper.

Fuel line in. Master cylinder in before i install the new gas tank. Now i need to figure out how to bleed beetle brakes. Say that 3 times fast :lol: . Found someone interested in finishing the 80 firebird,hes less than an hour away.

I had one here, but let it go. Almost bought another older one,early 70’s but decided against it.

Started fiddling wuth fuel line. Didnt want to run it inside the passenger compartment. Going to do it against my better judgement. Its that or under the car. Nope. 37 chevy showed up. Its pretty much a dragster. Will be racking up some hours on that one. Total rewire,and hasnt run in 2 years...

Hagerty as well?

Morning! Beetle is in shop, and that 38 or 37 chevy is coming for a re-wire. Silly dog was a little feisty last night,dont know why. She grabbed my shoe and managed to hide it.

67. Its very solid. Was painted 20 years ago,stored indoors ever since. Gas solidified in fuel system,master cyl is junk.

In the shop now. First thing is fish the gas line through the tunnel. Then see if fuel pump works. I pulled carb and went through it last year. Then give it a good warm up.

Morning! Here comes the rain again. 38 chevy may not show up. Beetle doesent run, and i dont want to play in the rain to get it in the shop. So i guess im fiddling with the studebaker.

80 power wagon onto an 02. Screen shot the earlier comment and sent it to my son. He’s officially excited. Cummins chassis has no body, and he had it running. So im picking cab off the power wagon and fixing the body then placing it on the CTD chassis. We may use a long box to save time...

So, s10 2.2 develops a rattle at idle when hot. Its the common timing chain tensioner. My local supplier doesent stock the chain kit or gaskets. Rock otto is 1/2 the money so thats what my plan is next. And a new muffler.

Thats exactly what im hoping for. With any luck i wont prove you wrong.

I think he got a painless kit. I have a couple kits here i found on Amazon. There are decent ones and crap. Crap is like a dash harness, gooder ones are generous with the wire, from headlight to taillight.

Morning! Think its shop cleanup day. Sort out some stuff in quonset to make room for the 38 chevy coming for a total rewire. And need to get the beetle gone.

Car show was good. I didnt get a chance to wander too far as i was working the registration desk. Took a while to get organized too. 127 cars. Broke record of 108. So all in all the show was a great succees

Morning! Clear and calm. Perfect day for a show and shine. About to get going, clean windows and dust the dashboards. Or not. We drive em. Thats what i built them for. Hoping for a good turnout.

Me too. Fargo and Studebaker.

Yup. Hate the pedal arrangement. For some reason the cruise works now. Sluggish to engage. Thinking the servo is sticky from lack of use. Did some driving around, lots of traffic here this weekend. Fair,fireworks parade and car show. Also live entertainment.

Did a little more work on the truck. Oil change, grease job. Window trim and rearview mirror. It needs to be lower as rear window is low, so not much distance behind truck. Moved gas pedal. Its worse than it was before i modified it. So, revisiting that. And litte to no resistance on pedal. Not...

Thes stupid turbine wheels. With the 1” spacers which i hate are causing issues. Drilled to clear the studs, but they arent running concentrically. Have to fiddle to get them right. I may see the machinist, get proper holes drilled.

Its an 80, macho package. It needs box sides, full floors, cab mounts and rockers are still solid i think. I have 3 donor trucks so i should be able to scavenge enough to fix it up. Father/son project. Its going on a cummins chassis.

Morning! No rain today and tomorrow. Looks like we are good to go for car show on monday. We volunteer, working the sign in booth. And Kim sells club T-shirts and hats.

Wait until i start sharing the power wagon project. Its beyond rough.

Its gonna be a hit!

Need a few decals..

@toolmanmike scan tool question. 95/96 s10 was transition from obdI to obdII. Mine is obdI with obdII data link. There is an adapter. Otherwise there is no communication. Ever heard of such a thing?

Got some kinks ironed out, Kims door-i forgot to tighten striker. Closes nice now. Fixed the crappy exhaust repair,and extended tailpipe straight out the back. Its running kind of wierd, but its been a while since it has seen any highway, egr may be acting up. Well, it is- code 32 is all it puts...

Morning! Rain. Guess i will go and start picking away at the clunks and rattles in the Studebaker. Modify the gas pedal. List isnt really long.

First cruise was ok, not great just ok. Some bugs to work out,check engine light came on. I suspect egr. And rattles.

Dangit! I just got studebaker good enough to drive, but no sealant around the glass. Hope it fizzes out.
