I saved up some money so I can pull the engine, replace rear main seal and all other gaskets on my 351w in my 66. Gotta keep the good one running

Drove mine! May not sound like much but it was at a freinds for a few days while I did disk brakes on his '64 El Camino. Was certainly glad to have it back. Still new to me and considering it was sitting 35 years until last month. Started first crank in the freezing cold and drove perfect.

I moved the column mount on the firewall over 1". I had it to far out before. I need to get more shielding gas to weld in a patch.

Lifted the cab off the frame. Bed and front clip have been off, blasted, primed, and put back on, now it is the cabs turn. New floor pans will be ordered next week then the fun begins.

My new radiator exposed that my heater core was bad. So I pulled it out. Now I have to order a new core. Might try to find leak and solder it tonight. This will also give me an opportunity to service heater valve and get new hoses. Also gauge cluster wouldn't light up. I pulled the light switch and cleaned the copper on the dimmer wheel. Problem solved. I didn't know my Sunco tach lights up. Pleasantly surprised. Also gonna put together a dual cycle tranny cooler. Run dual coolers per advise given. Pulled modern tape deck stereo out finally. I don't have cassettes and wasn't partial to all the sloppy wires done by previous owner. No stereo needed I like listening to the exhaust leaks. Hammered on some dents and cut pipe to form tailgate radius. Good day, I'll get after it some more tomorrow.

I broomed 5" of snow off of both of my Slicks and then the sunshine dried them off.

No biggie...they're sleeping soundly, while newer vehicles have to drive around on the salty-slush roads!

Body work on my trucks bed. Small dents are all just about gone. Bigger dents are now small dents. Hoped working on it all weekend, that I'd be further along. Maybe next weekend I'll get it in primer.

Welded up my antenna hole in my cab. Checked to make sure I don't have rear main seal leak. Figured out how to change my oil.

Yesterday, I washed it (including under the hood and in the bad. Does your wife roll her eyes when you do that?) Adjusted the kickdown cable (Lokar aftermarket). Straightened my new steering wheel (so it is in the right position when you are going straight). Put the arm rests back on. AND DROVE IT 70 MPH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A DECADE. YEE HAAAAAAA!!!! :D :D :D

After getting the cab and new fenders inner and outer on , I filled it with gas and been driving around town watching people watch the 65. It amazes me how many people young and old men women and children break their necks stairing at my old primer patched heap!
