I “rode shotgun” (in the garage) with my 12 year old son behind the wheel, for a little while today. He asked about what all the gauges are for, how the lighter works :D and if it would be good for drifting :gr_grin: Then we decided where we’re gonna take it fishing for the first time we road trip in it together, in another month or two; Good Lord willing, and the creek don’t rise!
Sounds like he asked all the right questions!!

not square related, but spring busted on garage door. Looks easy enough....with caution though. Will fix tomorrow for $50 compared to $300 locally.

Never done it, thought I'd share.
All done, the 31 total 1/4 turns is perfect for my 7' door. I did mark the leverage bars with a marker and made sure they were all the way in every turn. I stayed off to the side of the spring with goggles when turning.

Hell yeah!
Man, getting a half filled torque converter into a transmission for both “clunks” to seat it in while on a wobbly transmission jack was a little bit of a workout! My jackstands wouldn’t go high enough to slide the transmission out from under the frame rails so that was awkward at best and I don’t wish to do it again anytime soon! :banghead:

Ya doing a trans on the floor on jackstands is awful. It's not much better with a lift an legit trans jack though...

I spent yesterday indirectly working on my Blazer, I replaced the deck on my trailer so I could haul it to a square meet next Saturday.

I went out to LS Fabrication and had them bead roll me a whole Driver side firewall panel versus the partial one sold with the kit they sell, managed to get off work early Friday and work on the centre firewall replacement and fitment of the passenger side panel is nearing ready, just taking a moment to stand back to make I’m not missing anything else to be mounted or repaired in the rain tray before I tack/weld it up.
