Best Alarms there are. They work well in the house and garage too.
What have you done to your square lately??

Got some prep work done for tach install #1. I call this #1 because it was in the works before I found the tach cluster recently. I still plan on doing this install because I don't have time frame for my cluster to go in, and I figure when I do have the cluster ready, maybe someone will want to get this set-up from me. Anyways, onward ho....
Tach. 2 5/8" dia...
Surround for mounting the tach...
Location in the bezel...
I chose this location because the bezel that is actually in the truck has an inoperable digital clock from the stone age in that location already. So I don't have to feel guilty about cutting that bezel.
Tech note also: For those of you who have a bezel with the silver trim, or want the silver trim, go get your self a metallic silver Sharpie! The bezel in the above picture had half the silver gone from use over the years when I got it. It was actually the guy I bought it from that told me about it, as that is what he does when restoring the Chevelles he has collected over the years. You need a steady hand, but it is worth the payoff!

I've got 4 brand new bilstein 5100 series shocks I'm installing tomorrow. I hope they're as god as people say they are.
And I've got to get a new chrome front bumper and lights because Bambi don't like an un-cracked bumper.

New injectors in, fuel rail on, runners on, punched out a valve cover for a breather and put them on, replaced some PCV-vac hoses too:
Starting to look like a motor again, but pretty much stuck till the diaphram shows......

Fixed the exhaust for the billionth time on the '88 4x4 Burb, and also reattached the LF lower fender that has been flapping in the breeze. Used 4 screws to do it, 89S would be proud.
I haven't had the time to do the passenger side cab corner and rocker panel on the '84 C10, so I covered the giant hole in the rocker with a rear rocker panel slip cover I got from 89S a while back. Looks a lot better now, thanks buddy! I also installed an older Sun Super Tach in the C10 today. It's a little rough, but it works and was only 5 bucks at a garage sale. However, now I need to repair the steering column due to my frustration and carelessness. I broke that cover that goes behind the multi-function switch area, now I can't switch my brights on.
I also did a little work on the '86 2wd Burb. There were several little minor rust spots on the lower rear doors and the lower quarters that I didn't want turning into big rust spots. I just hit them with the wire wheel, sprayed on rust convertor, then sprayed them with black rustoleum. That should take care of it until I can permanently take care of it in the spring.

It was dark out and that little SOB didn't want to pop off. I just wanted it out of the way so I could clamp the tach to the column, then put it back on after I modify it. Well, I modified it alright.

Finished recharging the battery, had my son help me re-crimp my fan and his magic touch made it work, pulled my mirror off to re-glue the glass again, hopefully this epoxy holds. Took her out to the store for a nice ride and so glad to not be driving the camry for once lol.

Cool, glad it became of good use.
Give me a box of self tappers and I am a happy man, lol!
I'm on a pretty good roll with my Burb right now. Haven't had to do anything to it for a while. Famous last words right?

I got state inspection and emissions testing coming up the end of Feb. Got an exhaust leak on the right side, not sure if it is the donut or y-pip or manifold. I also got to get those damned rear body mounts under the third row seat fixed by then.
I got the hardware rounded up. I still got to fab up a channel or some custom mounts for the body under there. I got some 2" square aluminum tubing I might be incorporating.
