Water shortage?!?!?! We have been hammered on the front range of Colorado this year. Normally, I start to water my postage stamp mid March. I haven’t opened a valve yet this year.

Hell yeah! Common sense > OSHA every time!

Been there, done that. After my 454 LS7 build, I had low oil pressure. Diagnosis: bad casting from the ARE pan. THEN. I had milkshake... dropped dartin resleave. Motor #3 worked until 7k rpm track sessions wiped out the Lingenfelter gt19 ( base comp cams grind) ....and my 1k morel lifters. After...

Don’t forget those output/ input seals while your in there. They make the funkiest milkshake you’ve ever seen when they go bad on a C5.

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like it’s time to jump ship. I left Daimler Chrysler in 2000, never looked back. In regards to 100% EV. Does everyone remember the government “ rescue” in 2008? Looks Like it’s time to pay the piper. Sad really, and I own 4 classic GM’s and 1 new one. Been around them...

I don’t mean to be an enabler, but this would save you at least $3k. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lista-Cabinet-System-Snapon-Matco-Tool-box-chest/254911144705?hash=item3b59e36301:g:mqkAAOSwOMVfkBo7

“A doctor with patience will always have patients”, After 22 years, I’m quickly running out of the former. I’ve also sold a few projects lately & bought a completed one. “Do what makes you happy.....until it doesn’t “

How about the “chrome”that flakes off GM door handles? Like razors! I replaced 2 drivers side inners in 160k on my wife’s 07’ Denali xl. Right side mirror in my 08’ H3 alpha is stitches waiting to happen. NoW, the LR exterior handle is heading down the same path!

Happy New Year Andy! I do miss saving your thread for the last read each day. I still wonder what you’re working on & look forward to any updates. I Hope your staying busy and enjoying Some QST.

I bought a C6 corvette shifter assembly from a guy in MI , he shipped on 12/7. It’s in route. USPS says it will be arriving late. NFS :dunno:

Can crusher is cool! I’d love to build one but the project list is already too long ( cars first). Hopefully amazon gives you some kick back from the link you left, cuz I bought one! Even though I’ve cut the beer consumption back a bit, my wife drinks 2x as much in flavored seltzer water. I’m...

Andy, Great to see you enjoying life & sharing it with others. I miss the regular posts but understand if they get in the way of having fun. I’ll hold tight for the cliff notes. -=Mike

I know how you feel. After my dad passed, he had tools everywhere! As we slowly went through everything I moved one tool box to the house garage and left the other in the detached garage. I set each up just like my own at home. That way when I want to work on something, I know right where to go...

Good news on the cobra! Bad news HRPT is cancelled. Good news I’ve made great progress on clutch install, torque tube rebuild, new seals in the diff on the 99, FRC vette for next years event. Just waiting on RPM transmission to get my T56 back to me. Then, everything else. At least the A/C...

Like these guys.....$$$$$ https://predatorinc.com/predator-duramax-suburban/ I’ve long thought about it. Loved our 07, Denali XL. Nearly flawless over 10 years and 190k. But I Bought a 19’ Denali Dmax 2500. put an A.R.E. Topper on it and called it a day. They were giving them away when the...

I’ve used griots leather care on several cars. My wife’s AMG GL63 interior is 80% leather. They have a spray and a lotion version. The original lotion formula is FAR superior. I brought back my 1991 ZR-1 seats with it after only 9k miles over 28 years in the dry climate of Colorado.

As much as I’m a GM fan, I’d HATE to see an LS in the cobra. I guess I.m old school ( is that possible in your late 40’s?) I LOVE to see brand specific motor/car combos. Roadkill guys love this one, might be time to bite the bullit. Should be enough...

You’ve always got a tag along out here when your in town ( or a garage to work on things if needed), but I’d sit this one out with the cobra. My C/10 LS restomod just ate its hydramat. But I can fix that after work tomorrow ��

My brother has had that happen 2x to him over the years. Working in an automotive assembly plant in the Midwest during the summer..... not fun. That’s why I take off my Mtn bike gloves when I have to go now....every time .....with out fail. Witch hazel works wonders and does not sting the...

Glad to see you back! I was seriously wondering if we would ever hear from you again. Still sorry I didn’t get to meet you at the former shop when I was “in town” but I’m Glad to see you have a new project. I hope you plan to keep this one. If so, build it however you want!!!! And take us along...
