The Bent77 K10 now tow pig

[ZooMad75]

I spent 4 hours today installing a head unit in Eileens Corvette. 3 hours was spent cleaning up and figuring out what works went where in the center console. Yhe PO was aahack. Half an hour installing it. Half an hour figuring out how to program it.

I know what you went through there. We had an 81 Vette in the shop a year ago that he wanted to fix a lot of the PO's butchery. The stereo was one, with an amp and normal BS. My tech asked me multiple times this question: "Do you F***ing hate me?"

Nice works. Keep at it. I hit a road block on mine, and can’t seem to get motivated now.

Yeah once I got side tracked, other things kept popping up. Then I’m like “ugh, wiring” so find something else to do

Wiring rates pretty close to drilling iron overhead

Should we plan on putting grip tape on the right hub, so that you can stand on it to reach the dipstick?

Have to stand on the tire

I have one of these in the bed of the crew cab: https://www.harborfreight.com/step-stoolworking-platform-62515.html They pop up on sale frequently for a lot less than that.

 

[Bent77]

No. I’d buy an orange Jeep first

We finally share a common hate in something. This is the day to be put in the history books.

I didn't know HF step stools were so hated.

I would much rather do wiring than drill iron overhead. Wiring is way safer, and not too bad once someone shows you some things.

I guess I am kind of slowly understanding that. When I woke up this morning, I was thinking about some of my wiring in the K5, and got mildly excited about cleaning it up. So I guess you may be right.

I wish I could get paid to do wiring on older cars all day long.

Can I pay you 20 bucks a day?

 

[Bent77]

Get like 20 minutes worth of work. Probably worth it

I have three in line. I wish I could pay someone worth a damn to do it.

Great progress man! I finally got a free half hour to catch up on others builds. Glad you went black I did too but that makes me wonder if that's why the factory painted them orange... It would be much easier for tracking down factory leaks I kno I'm late to the party

It’s all good. Been isolating the hypocrites one at a time lol

Mini gear reduction starter for the win!

 

[Bent77]

Yeah needed some room to the headers. Had about an inch, gained at least another and change.

Plus my old starter was starting to labor


Now lengthening a bunch of wires to stay off the headers. Remember now why I hate headers

 

[6872xtc]

Like the stock manifolds and the metal tube protect the wires??



You so cranky sometimes!!

 

[Bent77]

Finally moved past the wiring
