I wish i could say ive made more progress, but ive been on yard duty. Almost wrapped up this project now. Gotta do a little water run off management in the low area where the deck and dirt meet. Probably gonna do a French drain since everything under the deck slopes into the cave anyway so...

I like the setup! We started renovating a front room in our house for the same reason. Got stalled cause we cant agree on seating though. Unfortunately for my wife im a visual person and I get images in my head that fixate on, that I cant quite communicate.

Thats a beautiful house, and a lot of garage!

Congrats on the board membership! I understand not wanting to talk about yourself..... but an unfortunate lesson ive learned these last few years its rare for others to advocate for you if you dont advocate for yourself in a job setting.

Ain't nothing crappy bout crappie!! Im sensing this trend where folks just dont agree with modern pricing of vehicles and opting to maintain great older vehicles. Dont feel too bad about the tune, I did something similar with the Firebird. I had several "tuners" look at it before i finally did...

Kiddo's 10th bday is this weekend so ive been on house detail since we will have guests..... .managed to eek out a little bit more on this. Upper arm boxes are bolted tac'ed in. After I get the axle set ill finish all this up (bout time for minitub!!) Started to set the lca brackets in...

Nice work Logan!

Double post separated house and car stuff Axle housing leaf spring brackets fully removed. Thanks Mike for the DA tip, definitely smoothed it out better. I had to use the bamdfile to do most of the work. From there I got my lower control arms mounts set, and got the inner upper control arms...

Such a beautiful property congrats, just gotta seal the drive and done?

Thanks for the tip Mike!

Still prepping the rear axle, I should probably focus on finishing the cradle, but I really want to cross this off the list so I can get them fully welded and the rear end powder coated. All the bracket welds for the leaf spring are gone on the passenger side, this is not a quick task!

Yeah im getting some of that as well! Just fortunate the warm days are on the weekend! Well there's no going back now! Tacked my upper control arms in using the jig.... that was a hole thing. Ended up having to shim the jig out a bit to get the brackets to mate to yhe axle tubes... not in the...

Nice work! Im thinking im gonna be doing a lot of those projects this spring as well.

@Cdubu52 I do something similar. I use those in line water filters they sell for rv's and camping. Threads onto the end of a spigot on one end and the hose on the other. Cheap and replaceable. Ive looked into the spot free rinse bead resin kits several times. We have fairly harsh water and im...
