That's seriously the kinda stuff that makes me want to put the wrench down and not come back for a while. completely frustrating when stuff like that happens.

Finally took my new (to me) dash bezel that I bought off of Ebay and installed it tonight. First I repainted it with vinyl paint and cut out the radio area to accommodate my newer CD player. I was going to buy a Metra Din Kit, but decided to save my money, take my time, and go slow. It came out pretty good. I'll take a picture once I get the dash finished.

replaced my low beam headlights for the second time in a year :rolleyes: and did some other small nit picky things on the '87 while the boys played outside. Just some little things that needed to be done but just hadn't had time to do them.

Well found out that I need to use the correct clutch and pressure plate for my trans. Which means I get to change the flywheel and brand new starter too. So I guess I'll just pull the motor again. Glad I beat myself to death in the evenings this past week just to do it all over again.... :(

Sorry man, that really does suck.

A new set of vent window locking handles. The previous non-lockiing one is sitting on the door panel.

It does, I got all the parts I need on the way but I'm out of motivation. It's just to hot an after working 12 hrs I can't get myself to do anything with it this week. I'm off Friday- Tuesday so I plan on getting it all done then. It's supposed to be a little cooler out as well.

Know that feeling all too well. Which is why my engine is still on the stand and not in the truck. It's been a very hot summer thus far.

Attempted to clean/polish drivers front wheel (aluminum). I got it clean, but the drill just didn't cut it buffing/polishing. Not enough rpm's. I'm trying not to buy another tool but I may have to. The 4" grinder I have will get most parts, but would be faster and more coverage if the tool was more inline. May have to get a die grinder. I think I've got enough compressor to last a few minutes with it.

I got these off amazon for the drill. Have held together for what I've done to one wheel.

Better tool suggestions are welcome. I've got 8 holes to get into, that's why I bought the kit that has a cone.

You could go electric if your compressor is small.

And pair it with this.
