WOW Ken bee you Tee FULL, Love your set up there. Fantastic job on the 32 very,very nice. here's one for ya i sold in 06 Great 8 car in 99. Love the work your doing 1st class for sure.

Ken,, Where did you get the jack stands that you have under the rear of your Rod?

Dave-Thanks, I agree the paper board stuff just doesn't last. If you look back in my build I did the whole interior that way. I got caught in a rain storm in Kansas in another roadster I had and ruined the interior because of that stuff. I swore then I wouldn't let the upholstery shop do that again, so I make it all out of steel and powder coat it then give it to them.


Steve-Thanks, glad to be working on it again, but it's still not running. I screwed up in the wiring I'm sure this is just a hint of things to come


twin blown-Thanks, you have some nice cars.


onemintcaddy-I bought them at Pep Boys, I think they were $30. Pretty handy with the jack and stand all in one. What is nice they are infinitely adjustable, so if you are trying to level something out you can and always know it can't fall on you.

Well it's still not running I took the computer out and had it check and it's OK. I hope it makes noise tomorrow.
I finished the sheet metal in the truck for the upholsterer, so here is a couple shots of that. I just have to have it powder coated,

Looks great Ken. Can't wait to hear it run!

I don't see how there can be anything wrong under here But there was, it just wouldn't start. I finally gave up and called a friend of mine that works at a Chevy dealership, and asked for help.
One of the reasons I used Chevy's off road computer systems in the car was just for this reason. If I'm out in the middle of tim buck too somewhere and it dies, I can take it to a dealer and plug into their system and diagnose it and order what ever parts I need to fix it.
My friend sent over their computer guru. He plugged in their computer and in 30 seconds or less told me my accelerator pedal wasn't any good and I had a dead o2 sensor. I ordered a new pedal assembly and sensor. It came in yesterday, put it in the car and it fired right up
So tomorrow is the big day for me, I'm going for a ride

Holy Sh*t! that's a lot of Sh*t packed in a little space.

When you install the "second firewall", do you think you will have any overheating concerns with anything that you hid in there?
