Andy, I am very sorry to hear of this. Prayers for you and your family. Lynn

Good morning, Andy, I am glad to see you getting the wiring issues taken care of. I think you have found the answer to the question about turning the distributor and having it stop running. Please be careful with the wiring. My brother built a beautiful 70 GTO and the car started on fire while...

Andy, You are welcome for the information on the distributor. It is the least I could do based on what I have learned by reading your thread. I'm glad it troubleshot itself overnight. It is great when things work that way. Congrats on two days of not not putting in an oil pump driveshaft...

Good evening, Don, Ann's store is looking great! Is this a preview of what you want the western town to look like? Sorry to hear about the frustration with the crown cutting. I've cut a bunch of it and was shown a technique that works well and is consistent. Turn the crown upside down with the...

Good morning, Andy, Sorry to hear about your cow, but it sounds like she had a good, long life on your farm. I am also bummed that the purplish car didn't start right up for you. Breaking down what the distributor needs to work is : Make sure the rotor turns when turning the engine over, I'm...

Andy, great progress on the purplish car! When I set up a distributor like yours, I turn the balancer in the correct rotation to 12 degrees before top dead center on the compression stroke and align the "points". This should give you enough spark lead to get it started. Make sure you have...

Mr. Andy, Figured I'd say something this time. I have visited your thread just about everyday for the last few months and today I was kinda thirsty so i grabbed a coke, thank you. I left the can so you can recycle it and then I can see what you do with it. :) I am amazed at what you do and how...

JBMath, Long time lurker, first time posting to your thread. I keep coming back to see what your next project is and how you work through it. Your latest one hits pretty close to home. I have an 02 Duramax that needs a flywheel as well, along with a bunch of other work. Looks like it has been...

Don, Very glad to hear the fires are moving away from you. Hopefully, now, there wont be much left to burn and the fires will stay away for a long time. Looks like the vette is really coming around, looks great! Mr. Bobby, it will be more than worth it to go to the West coast just to see Don's...

Lynn I'm sorry that our schedules caused us not to meet. I'm glad that you had a good visit with Pat (my neighbor) and Ann and that you enjoyed your tour. It sounds like Pat gave you the ultimate tour of my place and also his. He does have a lot of stuff doesn't he. I'm happy to hear that you...

Mike, I've been quietly following along until now. I have to say quoting Bill Murray in "Caddyshack" made me laugh out loud. Obviously, you are raising your son right!:bounce: What you have done with your place is amazing! Thanks for sharing your journey. Lynn

Well, Friday is when it happened. My wife had some work to do in California, I went with her. I contacted Don a couple of weeks before to see if it would be possible to visit the Big Party Garage. His words, "we'll make it happen." That is exactly what he did. Unfortunately, we had a change in...

Good evening, Don, First time posting to your thread. I have watched in awe from your first post until now. I have wanted to respond a number of times but I can't come up with anything better than what has already been said. What and how much you accomplish with such perfection is beyond...

Boss, what is the story on the blue gp with spoiler in the fifth pic? We had a blue '92 GTP with the spoiler, sun roof etc. Nice car, sold it to buy a roll back. That is going to be a nice shop. I have 5 Pontiacs in 12x20 tents, one in a 24' enclosed trailer, one under a tarp and one more tucked...

Sorry guys, i haven't been checking in much of late. I will try to explain it again. When you look from the top down on the metal it looks like this: Normally you see it from this side so the ribs stick out and the most of the metal lays flat against the framing...
