Seems they're always gone too soon. Speaking of PITAs... had our share at the shop the last few days. Working on the 89 "rescue" Vette. Why did they discontinue the steering racks for those? That gave us a whole new headache. Taking out the old one wasn't much fun either. Never cared to learn that process and don't care to repeat it. It also got a new power steering pump, water pump, hoses, thermostat, the works. We pulled the complete radiator/condensor/fan assembly from a donor 87 to put in there where the '89s was busted. Then used the drill, grinder and my wire brush sets to clean up the trans and driveshaft on the '65 pickup. No fun there, either. Got the motor for it back as well and got it put on the frame. Slowly but surely.... Hope everyone has had a good last few days and stayed cool. Been hottest ever here and miserable. |
