Plasti-dip is like a rubberized coating. It's non permanent and can be peeled off like latex. It's also super durable and can be applied to just about anything and is really easy to work with. I actually have my whole wagon, from top to bottom "plasti-dipped". :lol: http://i142.photobucket...

Picked up a cheap cart from Harbor Freight to clean and service the trans. Finished servicing the trans, cleaning, and painting it. Bolted it up to the engine and decided to drop it in. Sorry for the lack of words. It's late and I'm beat! :blank: Enjoy! 8) http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r108/myg...

Sorry for the lack of progress/pics. Been to damn cold in the garage this past week. Should be getting the head back soon and then I'll be able to drop the engine back in. Well, still have to clean, paint, and service the trans with new fluid, seals, pushrod bushing and a pushrod bearing. Finished u...

Got some more stuff done last night and only stayed up till 1am. Most of the time was spent cleaning the garage and putting my tools back so I can find them again. Cleaned, sanded, and resprayed the K-frame and steering rack. Also, moved all the wires out of the way to start cleaning the driver side...

He told me it'll be about another week. :banana: The trunk is almost done. The floor is finished and the amp wires are run, just need to find some subs and an amp t...

Still waiting for parts to show up so I've been plugging away some things here and there. Started working on the trunk floor to mount some bass tubes. The only reason I am going with the tubes is because my Uncle always wanted to put them in there but never got around to it. I think he had these tub...
