I guess this is in the wrong place. Can you put it where it should be?

fixed

Going to pull the craigslist trans out tomorrow and take it and the 4x4 trans down to the trans shop and maybe a good trans at the end of the week or early the next week.

Trans should be back early next week so I need to get some kerosene for the heater now that its gotten a little more colder.

Went and picked up stovepipe today. Need to fire up the wood stove.

If I had more room in the garage a wood stove would be in there now.

Only problem is, once you get a good fire going it's relly tempting to sit by it and make sure it doesn't get lonely.

The trans is done and will be picking it up tomorrow,it took some money out of the budget but I wont have to worry about it going out.

If anyone is bored and needs something to do monday or tuesday night the trans will be going in,looked around for a pair of used tires today with no success so I dropped the rims off and had new tires installed. I just cant pay 40 dollars a piece for weather cracked used tires that most tire shops are wanting so I just payed a little more the double for new tires.

Tuesday Nite?

Maybe you need to go to the hardware and get some wing nuts for that damned crossmember.

Lets do it tuesday night since monday I will have to pick up the tires and get some kerosene.

Gotta watch the WWE Monday.

I might not get hme too early tomorrow evening from taking a ride to deliver the racer. Might be a little sleep deprived Monday.

Doug came over and got the trans in tonight,just got it bolted to the motor and the crossmember in. My back has been hurting so I did not want to push it and will be finishing it tomorrow night.

Too bad about the back but there were no cuts or bruises and no lost tools so it was a good night. The only thing was that I was on the COLD side.

Don't you guys cut yourself on purpose and bleed down the intake? We never trust a job that isn't blessed with blood.

It should be on the ground saturday,I need to get the tires turned around since it has blackwalls on the front now and might try to do it tomorrow at lunch.

Doug take some pics of this thing so we can see it.

It still looks the same and can not get any new pics until its out of the garage.http://images1.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp%3B3%3B%3Enu%3D3374%3E2%3A9%3E6%3C9%3EWSNRCG%3D348798594%3A33%3Anu0mrj

The garage isn't big enough. That thing is so huge you can't hardly get around it. There's motorcycles, boat motors and all kind of crap in the road. There's barely enough room for the old hearter, let alone my big arse. It's supposed to go around the block this weekend. I'm sure there'll be pictures then. The thing should have quite the California rake with the 2 wheel drive front end and the stock 4 wheel back end.

Juat put some Kelly Spring Field N50-15s on the rear and paint the shocks HiJacker yellow, and it's highschool all over again.

It went around the block tonight and have a leak to chase down,I dont remember making sure the torque convertor drain was tight so I hope thats all it is,without a pressure gauge it took me awhile to get it to shift the way I wanted it to but its there now.

It was the convertor drain plug being loose,I could turn it with my fingers and suprised it did not blow out. I did not want to pull the trans back out again.

At least it wasn't a seal or something.

Both trans I had rebuilt had a leak but it was installer error,this one the plug and the 55 a cooler line.
