'79 Camaro Restomod
I thought you had bought delalum or delrin bushings for those arms already or were you going to? I wished I had the coin to do tubular upper and lowers, trying to install bushings is pissing me off. I wished I had went poly they might squeak but I had no issues putting them in the s10 with just...- Swims350

I knew they had repaired the lower valance area and the front fenders in front and rear on DS and rear on PS, some door work and decklid, but didn't know about the outer 1/4 except for the inner wheel house area and the lower 1/4 on one side I saw had rust in the previous pics. It looks like...- Swims350

these are the pass. 1/4 inside the door vent and then the inner part that's got the holes. The lower bottom was replaced and you can see it and that's where I saw patch work on the inner wheel house from the previous owner.- Swims350

interior is going back white with either black dash, console, carpet, and belts or dark carmine red as it was stock. The car was also red stock, no I'm not a huge stock fan, but I always talk of painting something red and like it, so it's going to be a bright red almost orange or a dark orange...- Swims350

Harbor freight portable garage
I would not put anything of value under one of those tarp style carports. I had one and it cost me a new backwindow in the wife's car which wasn't even under it. they will not hold up in wind, or other storm/weather. Trust me everyone says oh I'll tie it down good, well let me break down how... -

1991 Chevy S10 Question
exactly as above the black box on the side of the MC is for the RWAL or rear wheel antilock brakes. The plug looks to me like the ALDL for the obd 1 system. The black box in the floor I'm not sure. I had a 91 s10 and did the same v8 swap got rid of all that crap. You also have the big cruise...- Swims350

no as bad as our roads are I think I'll sick to stock height. Bad thing is I'll most likely have to do air shocks in back or maybe do some new leafs to make it sit right with new front coils. Maybe I should buy some for a v6 or like a smaller v8 so they' d not be as tall? I could always trim...- Swims350
