Sucks about the insert. So did you purchase the suspension?

Once you get it running then head over here and we can weld up your toe elim's.
I didn't mean to ignore you there sir. I have a precision 185 TIG here, plus I could just take the rear subframe apart here too as to not clog up your space.
I'll be in contact, turns out I know another person that is an electrician and sounds like he will make time to hook up the 220V! :bengals:

4/8/12-
Got a bit more cleaning up outside, got rid of junk I didn't need. Found some parts too.
I loaded up the 2G head, intake, exh. mani to get checked out.
I was finishing the install of my WB and I found one of my hvac cables has been preventing my glove box from closing all the way. it would latch but have a big gap and I just thought it was a normal junky thing for the old car to do, but its not so I need to find a longer cable and fix it.
I also found a box of cleaner plastic interior pieces so I'm happy about that.
While on this subject, I painted most of my old car interior black and it was pretty clean, but one thing I noticed was that it as just too dark in the car.
So this time I'm going to paint everything below the door panels/dash black and leave everything else gray apart from the headliner.
I'm planning on just filling my drivers side motor mount for now I only want to have a front and rear solid/prothane mount.

Lol, hell if I know. To be honest, if the block checks out good and MAP does their usual awesome job at slingin' parts, no reason I can't be driving it around this weekend. Susp. should be here before weekend too.

This is what I plan to do in a few years regardless of what skill or non-skill my welding is at when I'm done with this degree.

lol, its true, kinda like the pushing coolant thing.
Good progress big guy, stay in it!
I'm trying.
So i acquired some mudflaps a while back and I was wondering if I should run them or not, they need to be "reconditioned" but I'm not sure if i should sell or keep and run them.

4/11/12:
So i switched to 10-6s this week because I hate rush hour traffic and I wanted more time in the am. Anywho today was the first day in a while I could make it outside and it feels good.
I realized that my glove box still hangs down too far, so its junky anywho and I need to fix it.
I spent an hour outside and I'm gonna try and budget 1 hr/day if possible to do stuff.
I purchased a low mile front cover and manual cams, well I got the box open the front cover is junky as hell with glue or some shit all over it, someone took a grinder to parts of it, vice grip marks on the inside where it should mate to the block.
So while I made some ok progress outside, opening my package before coming in angered me a bit.
Hopefully this weekend I can get the head back on the motor.
