All is well. Still lots to do but I can only do so much, so work on the car is usually side tracked to other jobs

[racereaper7]

i know how you feel,im torn between to project cars,work,future...
NEXUS its nice talking to you, your input along with everyone else that has helped has keep my going and not giving up on the project when something goes wrong.
i have not been able to do much on the car because of the weather, but i did pick up something new that im going to try. its the new turtle wax black box, its suppost to restore the black.

Well let us know how it goes after you get the chance to try it

[racereaper7]

just picked up new drive belts hopfully going to get them installed in time for the car show this weekend.
and also try the black box

[racereaper7]

had a rough day at work so i went to work on the trans am (good stress reliver), so i went over to install the belts i got on monday. hopfully i got them on all right the one that goes on the power steering pulley in little looseish? the one on the alteneter is tight, it does not bolt all the way to the top as it used to? any input on that would be great.
we started up the car to hear if there was squicking was told from a guy from work that they would make noise if they was too loose. my dad helped my out, was a big help (i felt bad because he is not doing well sick, hurt his back leg and has a torn rotatior cup) we took the car for a spin up the block and it drives so much better (have not driven since the breaks install-original brakes held it back)the car drove so smooth needs some more suspension work needed more stiffness.

Right on!!

I bet it felt good to go for a spin!!!

ya it was amazing, just me and my dad cruising up the street. it mint alot. the car felt so much better then before when the front caliper was frozen. it really picked up to, we was driving and looked down and i was going 50. needs suspension work but the car/engine seems to be running good
*Nexus- thanks for the input

NP.

I remember one of the few times I got to drive my car, I went down the road and like you  I looked down and was doing 120 kms in an 80 zone. It felt smooth.

that was one of the last times I drove the car. I took it apart shortly after that 10 long years ago

[racereaper7]

Yeah yeah rub it in...lol 

[racereaper7]

thinking about sneaking the trans am out to the car show today, its a bit cold out today only in the low 50's.
sneaking out because my dad does not really want to bring it out until its repainted. i want to show the guys at work who are coming what we've done so far. what to do, i probably wont but....

Hopefully I have it up and running on monday changing the flexplate is a little work, especially with no lift for the car
