What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

Not technically ON my cars but it is FOR my cars. Put a piece of carpet on the wall of my new 24' car hauler trailer so when I open the door, I don't damage it on the wall. My winch will be ordered yet this week which should help alleviate getting in and out of the car. But for now, this'll have to do. And yep, the driver door clears the inner fender....barely!!

Finally "unstuck" my 833 from 2nd gear & took it for a spin. All went well. May drive it to work tomorrow. That's if I go. Lol.
 
Was out late last night so I got a late start this morning. Too frickin hot for much else, so in anticipation of a new cam from Mike Jones I'm loading up my heads and new parts to drop off at machine shop for refurbishing Monday morning

Was being "chased" by a survivor Daytona on our way to the 7th Annual Port Huron (MI) Mainstreet Memories Wheels on the Waterfront. Needless to say, he caught up with me!

On yesterday I drove the car one way 40 miles on the hwy to a family reunion. Had a great time with the folks, gave a couple rides to family members, drove home 40 miles. Only issue was temp gauge went to 210-220. On the FiTech efi handheld temp was only 194. Not sure which one was correct.
 
More engine bay work. Pulled the steering...put a new coupler and seal on the steering shaft.
Welded the last patch a and stripped paint.
Close to primer

Set up the Sure Grip I picked up at Carlisle. I made this jig to hold it which worked out pretty good.

Went for drive along a road with a 5,000ft elevation gain.
 
Gave the "Golden Oldie" a bath this afternoon, first one this year, in preparation for the Jack Frost gathering tomorrow.
