I asked Julian this question and I'm going ask it to you: Are you gonna be able to put the car back together?

Regardless, these parts are coming out gorgeous.

I have tons of respect for the work you do, the effort you put in on every detail and the pace you´re progressing with :thumbsup:

65sporty · Jun 16, 2019

Amazing what time, cleaning, paint and attention to detail will do for some used parts.

Damn fine job for a young fellow. :thumbsup:

Looking good! Now I don't want to sound like a wuss but you really should wear some gloves when you're painting or using chemicals. The **** you're absorbing into your body is nasty stuff.

But if he did that, he wouldn't be the man we know today

got side tracked today so didn't get much done but l did finish up assembly on my dash thanx kindly to 70 Sport Suburban for sending me the last piece l needed..

touch it up a tad and pop it in and call it a day..least l got something done...

Dash ready to install..wireing included....

Azblackhemi…….actually picked these up sat to use when l tear engine apart but your right...l like the tactile touch when dealing with intricate stuff...l try to avoid chemicals as best l can

for those of you with rug rats happy fathers day....

I started using the Grease Monkey HD nitrile gloves, 8mill units from Princess auto a year or so ago. I too like the tactile feel of no gloves but these work surprisingly well. Stay away from the thinner 5-6mill grease monkey gloves they are absolute junk and will tear on a friggin hang nail. I bought a pack because they went on sale....I go through at least 6 pairs when working on a project compared to one pair of the 8 mill units.

I get these 9-mill gloves and they work great for me.

I don't like gloves, but they do save my hands from chemicals. I also use Harbor Fright gloves for stuff that will beat up my hands. Almost as good as Mechanix gloves, but at a third of the price.

thrashingcows · Jun 18, 2019

Almost twice the price as the ones I get locally....when you have to tack on shipping to the North of Canada kind of kills the "bargain" sometimes. ;)

anyway got the darn thing out and got first spring in and went from there

did whatever it took to get the job done..as per...lm a bricky...ya'll knew it was comein..

anyway managed to get things sorted without killin myself thank God :thankyou:

tackled my fuel tank while l was down there..had another tank l had prepped but it had a boo-boo

other tank l got out of New Yorker was in much better condition so used it instead...

That an 8 1/4 or 9 1/4 rear end that you dragged out? Keep the brakes complete with backing plates, just unbolt the 4/5 bolts that hold them to the axle and store them away...they look like 11 x 2.5"?
