Krzdimond Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 3/4 time. Still haul fuel 3 days a week as part time as a backup "just in case" (winter is just around the corner), but detailing pays the bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2008fx4 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 ok - good news. im finishing up the build on the chevelle, drop by the suspension place that is working on the car and we start up the car and notice a rather loud knocking noise from the front of the engine. first check fan clearance, we are okay there. look a little farther down and see that the harmonic balancer is vibrating pretty badly. upon further inspection, after shutting the car down immediately, we see that the belt has jumped off the crank pulley one rib. so we raise the car all the way up (added bonus of air ride!!) crawl underneath the car and guess what we see.......... the friggin yahoos that built the motor overlooked torquing down the bolts that hold the crank pulley on. because of this, one bolt was completely missing and the other two were finger tight. nice. we pulled the belt off, went and got new hardware, and after some loctite, some torquing down, and reinstalling the belt, the noise was gone, the balancer was smooth, and the belt is staying in place. i could just see me going down the road and getting on it a little bit, and seeing my $25K motor go up in smoke!!!!

70'sChevyGirl Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 We have been looking for another project car. This time we have found a Camaro. I am not sure if it is a 68, 69 or 70. I forget. Anyway...it needs a hood and a new windshield and thats about it other than some minor body work and a good tune up and some Adam's shine. We are offering to trade him both of our ATVs (we are buying a Hammerhead with roll bars) and $1000 for it. He is thinking about it and I hope he takes it. My husband asked if I wanted to sell my Vette and drive the Camaro when its done. Uhmmmmmmmmm...NO!! I told him that I would take turns with him and the Camaro. We aren't getting rid of any of our hotrods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70'sChevyGirl Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Jason, We also have a DVD/Nav system in our Yukon. IMO...the driver shouldn't be watching videos while driving. Our kids are grown so I know when my husband installed it that it was for him. We are also getting a good thunderstorm right now. I love it. :rockon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
