well did more work last night feel lik i got nothin done. more cleanin and powerwashing. got the ac out and just cleaned/moved things out the way to paint. im sick of cleanin cant wait to put it together. here's a pic me doin work and you can see the big hole from the ac


o and also. wen i talked to the machine shop for the info to order my heads i found out that they only went.041 over. so my dad called back because they said they went .060 because .041 would need a custom ordered piston. well they went.041 and told us they hav the pistons for that on the shelf. then were lik so you want to go .060 and of course we dont. this shop is so retarded we cant wait to get our shit back itll be the first and only work they do for us.

well last night was interesting puttin the kmember back to get it as a roller. well our hoist broke. we had to use a jack to get the the car down off the blocks my dad almost died. we put a jack on cinder blocksand a 4x4 on the jack not thinkin that the jack couldnt wheel back as we let it down. so as it went down the 4x4 rolled and boom the car came down fast but it was right onto the jackstands and not onto my dad. (please dont tell me how dumb it was i already know) so that was my night i hav one pic.

so. went to put the rear together the other night and wen we tightened down the backing plate the axels wouldnt turn. figured the plates were the wrong way but theres only one way for the plates to go. searched and thought there was a shim missing. there wasnt. the machine shop put the backing plates on the wrong axels wen they put the bearings on. im pissed and now kinda worried that they are machining my motor. i pray they do that right.
