Stop in for a cup of coffee

Was talking to a Bugatti tech from Germany at Carlisle he was looking at the scopes I had there told me the new ones (lcd screen) did not work on copper core spark plug wires. Thought that was interesting.
 
Finally ordered the rest of the seals I needed for the Cuda. Napa was the cheapest and free to the store I have a account with. Look at them when you need stuff, usually about the same as RA but no shipping.
 
Morning...hey used the plating guy in MN I told you about again. I got chrome BB valve covers redone, and all the front stainless polished with all the dents removed. Had it all back in less than two weeks. He does amazing work, looks like new.

Nice! I've got a stack of stuff I'll likely be sending this spring.

I've forgotten was it running when you put it in the shop??

Right now he said is a slow time of year for them so the return was about 10 days. Oh he doesn't talk much. Other than the first call telling him what I wanted done, the phone calls were a minute or less. You can tell he hates interruptions.

Still runs fine waiting for the last minute to pull the engine. Prob going to drop it so I can re paint the k member. Everything is getting new seals. Have a water pump rebuild kit for it also it has a slow weep. Should be a 80 point car when I am done. The right parts are a pia. seals/gaskets I am not worried about being nos. Only real concern I have is if the engine needs to be boiled out flushed it twice still rusty water in it. If so prob re do the head with hardened seats that will be the only non oem thing done to it.
 
Have to start on the suspension soon, have all the bushings. Just hate that crap but at least I have all the Chrysler tools to do it with, makes it way easier!
 
I do want to find new boots for the ball joints, tie rod ends and the torsion bars. They are not easy to find individually nos/oem.

Nice! I'd send the stuff now but this time of the year, all expendable funds go towards gifts, though we're spending far less than we did last year. We go carried away last year a bit, spent WAY WAY too much and hurt us budget wise for about 3 months to feel comfortable again

Morning
Another fine day.
So the bridge project is moving rather quickly.
2 330 cat excavators and a rock truck.
Semi drops rock, one hoe loads rock truck, rock truck backs up 150 feet and dumps on riverbank and second hoe places the stone.
Big chunks of blasted granite.
 
Not my kit a friends on loan till I am done with them. I wish I could find one, just not around.
