Cam is bored and wants another carport project.
A 5.3 in a 40 would almost be cheating it would be so easy though after his last 2 jobs

Did you fix the knock? It's hard to tell when you're running an open header.

I slapped a Cherry Bomb on Patina and fired it up.
The engine knock is terrible. The harmonic balancer has quite a wobble too.
Julie was near and walked up and said said "I'm no expert, but that
doesnt sound right

FrontRunner makes this pimp little stainless folding bottle holder
My dash pad had some unsightly holes that I covered up with it.

Worked on this pos all day.
Added some headlights.
Took out the Ebrake and Tcase handles and cleaned up a few wires. It was pretty good for a few hours until I decided to start replacing window weatherstripping on the doors.
I broke the glass in the window and spent 3 hours replacing the gasket on one vent window to find that there is zero chance it will close with the new gasket.
New rubber and felt but a broken window getting it there
So basically I got nothing done but ruining a door.
This gasket was like concrete in the channel.
New gasket was a total pita and then the window didn't fit.
Fxxx this POS.

On those gaskets use a heat gun to soften them prior to removal. Can also use them to warm up the new ones so that they fit in properly.
I think it is telling you it doesn't want to be turd polished anymore.
