Pretty nice to have the wifey do the little painting

That's my daughter, she loves the car projects.

FINALLY made some progress, chopped the package tray into little pieces, chopped the carpet around the bars and got the back seats in.

I went backwards yesterday... tried to load in a new EFI program
after I fouled a set of plugs... I found out that it wasnt in the learn
mode so I changed to learn mode(I thought it was already) but
I must have fouled out the O2 also... it went so dog fat that it
was pouring fuel out of the pipes... I ordered up a new O2 today..
I just cant win with this POS truck... it HATES ME

More money more time!

I think nearly everyone in this hobby can tell you about the car they own that's worth 50% of the total investment... mine I can sell for 25k when done and I'll have 60k in it. When I get frustrated I move to another project, that's why this car hasn't run in 4 years.

Rotors and pads showed up.

Yesterday I FINALLY got the injection running good... does what
it was meant to do.. and its in self learn mode(all this time I thought
it was in self learn mode).. I had to change the O2 and after that it
started to learn... running some nice A/F numbers

Love it when a plan comes together.

OK I'm back, went out of town racing for 2 weeks. It's officially crunch time so I gotta get back to work here.

Went to BMR today and picked up all new front end bushings, also got all my hotels booked.

[Nmbr1GMfan]

Brake lines, brackets, rotors and calipers are on. Front k-member is out.

[Nmbr1GMfan]

I have some a/c lines that were previously cut and reassembled with compression fittings that leaked so those are out to try and find a more robust solution. also I started swapping clutch hydraulics yesterday.

[Nmbr1GMfan]

Front subframe stripped and bushings out.

Stripped then coated.

You know this is a drag race and not a car show right? you might drive in the rain or on shady roads and your car will be covered in bugs.
