Good Morning Nov 1, they took all my candy

It must have been something in the air or maybe it was the moon because all these kids came by the house and took all my candy.

Well I don't need the extra cals thats for sure.

It hasn't snowed here yet!!, knock on wood, aluminum, carbon fibor.

I bet some of you have some major plans for your car this winter.
Are there any stroker transplants on the menu? hmmmmm

I will install my custom window switches:D, fix the Sunroof and passenger seat gears, hatch still not unlatching and springing up.
I need new rear skins. I need to set up the front alignment better as I just eyeballed it last year and got lucky.
I may pull the engine again if I have time just to touch up a few detailing items.

Just general maintenance repairs this winter, unless Brent or someone finds me a nice used controler for No2
Oh I need to pull the covers for the trans and diff this winter and make sure everything looks spanky

Have a Great 928 Day

Brad

Getting ready to pull my engine out, to detail some bent valves. If anyone wants to come to Louisiana to lend a hand, come on. The beer is cold and the food is good.

Oscar what do you have for an engine crane and engine stand?
They need to be strong enough to hold the weight of a big block.

And if you have a stand that has a wide leg stance it is better because they are very top heavy.

Brad my engine stand holds a Chevy 350, I would think it weighs more since it is not aluminum. The hoist I am going to borrow, so I will look for the characteristics that you mention I might buy one. I am going to take this slow and take many pictures. I will post them when I figure out how. I will be asking question on the website as they arise. I think every owner should know how valuable being a member of this club is.

I know that the issues I am going to have is checking out the clearance of the bearings, cranks and cams to see if they need to be changes also I have never changed out a clutch.

Brad do you know how much the engine weighs?
