thanks steve and chip. i intend to post more and more as i make progress on my old ride. most everything i've had done by other i could do myself, but the new house doesn't have a garage and i'm not about to go lay in the snow. anyway, i'm hoping besides the regular bunch, maybe some new guys will see this thread in maybe it will help them out. i normally don't have anything done by anyone else including welding, paint and body, and engine rebuilding, but with no garage...... nope!
i'm planning a differential rebuild to re-ratio, and i know most guys don't have a clue how to properly set up a differential. i'm also planning to start the body work soon, and will post on the products i use and how i use them. for this, i bet i'll suprise a few of you. also, wiring. the 52 has a rats nest under the dash and it's hacked together. for some reason, the chain outlets are extremely camera shy, and i can't figure out why. if i had a parts store, i would bust my backside to put out as much info as possible. since i don't have a parts store, i'm ok with just saying a little bit about where i shop.
one thing. unless i find a business that is purely a ripoff, i'm going to not say too much bad about anyone, and post as much good about those who treat me well. one thing i've always believed is, people who are honest never mind having their pictures and names posted.
