Oh I know I have to be very careful I am very clumsy sometimes , so slow goes it at this point, the painter scratched the rear valence ,when I was there to pick it up,so good thing he is the painter,and this is the fun part

I have gotten some small stuff done, I have been side lined with a pinched nerve in my neck so it has slowed me down a bit, I will eventually end up having surgery to correct the impingement between cervix # 6 ,7 ,but got some steroids shot up in between the discs and it has helped but I STILL have a numb trigger finger.

But these parts look cool

Looking good. Certainly one of ma Mopars best grills. If not THE best !
Hope you get your neck sorted soon

Looking real good Drew

Ok I decided to get one task done that I have been putting off, the 1/4 windows and the regulators ,I have done a few and I ALWAYS hate it, it is a simple task however after 3 years or so since dissambly ,I had to cheat and use the chally to remember how they go and it still is a total PIA.

Anyone that has done these knows they are a real treat

Lining up quarter windows is a massive pain in the neck. Literally for you i imagine. "Ahem"
It took me a whole day to get the windows lined up in my RR.
I feel your frustration!

What year is the C3 Vette in the background Drew?

That is my Bros 72, 350 (stroked to 383) LT1 , 4 SPEED,A/C Power windows. tilt/tele steering wheel.A+++ car,,immaculate through out

He died back in August of 13 and I inherited the car, it is pretty much my pride and joy

Turns out the car is in the Corvette encyclopedia.

Thanks for asking, I am very proud to own this car

That's great Drew - an LT 1 with A/c......that makes it maybe 1 of around 240?? When the motor was stroked did the compression go back to where the earlier LT1 motors were at - 11.1? I'm a big fan of that era of Vettes as you can probably tell..

You and my bro could have talked for hours he had 13 vettes,(230 cars total).

I have to divulge it is a tribute car, he tore it down redid all of of the body, but it was a 350 car with a/c and 4 speed, he then found all the parts to duplicate the LT1, good enough to fool alot of people,3 trophies from the vette clubs , and the Encyclopedia, He and I used to chuckle I am laughing now, pretty funny ,no body knew how to figure it out it was not a true LT1,.

The numbers should be at the end of the vin#(I think) ,significance the LT1 option,but this one does not have that,

As far as the motor he did not go 11:1 , it is 10:1 ,thank fully, cause we dont have the fuel up here, the octane is only 91 and it is border line with my chally at 10.5:1

Got the front end bolted on,one more thing done, if I keep at it I might just have a car to drive by early spring

Great pic that Drew. Looking good mate. Keep at it
