'84 K5 Build (Midlife Crisis)

Cool! It looks like you got your Tuner Pro R/T monitors going there. What exhaust shop do you use? There is one called Performance Muffler on Decatur BLVD. that is known for doing decent work. That is where I am going to take my truck soon.

Thanks. Yeah it’s Tuner Studio MS. I like it a lot.
Yep that’s my buddy Joe. Been using him for years.

Ordered a new wideband. My exhaust guy is booked up till the 13th. So looks like I have to do a better temp job on what I have now.

I hear aluminum tape actually works pretty good as a temp sealant..

Yeah it is. But I can say it’s not good for structural. Lol

I spy a shop logo and flip flops. My kind of work style.

I do not know Joe very good personally, but I know who you are talking about because the company I work for does business with him from time-to-time. My new shop is right behind his place in the Goldstrum's Hot Rod Museum complex. I lease my place from the Goldstrum's. Joe told me last week that if I brought my truck in any time, and left it for a few days, he could get my exhaust done.

Even got the hood put back on today. I need to order some new headlight trim pieces.

Nah
Gives it that “Devil may care” look

Funny that the bumper did a great job protecting from the rocks, but the tree branch, not so lucky. Haha.

So I used my cherry picker to help me put the hood on, now I’m thinking I’ll use it to pick the front clip
For the truck. Gee, what an idea. How come I never thought of this in the last 30 some years?

It's a very useful tool when you don't have an extra set of hands.

I used it to put the Ramsey worm drive on my old blazer. Still had a hernia surgery

Fortunately I haven’t hurt myself lifting anything, but I should have. I’ve done some stupid stuff.

I have a clean set of the headlight bezels if you don't need to get new ones

Ah crap, I just ordered some right after I posted that. I’ve been meaning to for weeks. I really appreciate the offer though.

Call me when you need to put the clip back on, I'll swing by

Thanks brother, but that shit’s done.

 

[Desert_K5]

No problem. You're doing real work and I'm over like yeah! I just cut out my front hubcaps..lol

Well, I made about 2” into disassembling the 60 and I can’t find my spindle nut socket.
So I guess that’s it for tonight. Hopefully napa has one tomorrow.
