    Flywheel is on.

    Alternator got "lost in the mail" so NAPA ordered me a new one.

    And I got a sweet surprise coming around wednesday.

    I guess this is why they say don’t reuse flywheel bolts



    Heater tubing, new flywheel bolts, cv joint bolts, few gaskets
    New air pump filter, I didn’t get a pic but the thing looked like it was stockpiled for a few decades. Og boxing.




    ALMOST THERE







    Check it






    Flat Caps in tomorrow. Hopefully the damn alternator in too….

    Hahahaha I never thought of it like that. I know I love new tarmac when they lay it down on the 80. Makes me feel like a king.

    Sorry, I saw this and felt I needed to intervene. Anyway, great progress on Bridget.
    Not a problem at all, I was interested in the academy. Being middle class and white it’s hard to find scholarships, and I don’t want to start life in debt. I’d like to travel too. So I’m looking into the military academies as a way to get an education, serve my country, and travel for the early part of my life. I like naval and air force academy but am trying to keep my options open.

    I actually played free safety. I mean I just like to take advantage of all the opportunities which come before me. just trying to make my parents proud and have a bright future.

    Thank you, she is nearing completion.



    Check this out….



    These are my rockets for physics class, that little one went like damn near half a mile up.

    These are hella fun.


    Cv joint, fixing the torn boot, putting fresh grease in.






    Almost…





    So, I came home from a small job after school, and my dad took this thing out. He’s the man.
    I started to clean it, but I got a shit ton of homework, so I’ll get back to it tomorrow, but basically after the damn alternator gets here and I can finish the engine, I’ll mate it to the tranny and put her in from the bottom. More pictures.

    Yeah, from treasure island. I think it would look sick in the early fog.

    Thanks. I'm just being slowed by the waiting for goods in the mail.


    Still kind of waiting on various parts in the mail. Aluminum valve cover, alternator switched to NAPA should be quicker, got the wiring, needs shims, bearing.

    Got to check out Coast Guard island. Coast Guard seems like it could be a good gig for a while. College is coming quick.



    New wiring harness (spark plug wiring) whatever you’d like to call it came



    Oil cooler installed




    Buttoning the bottom up



    Got distracted by this cutie




    UC Davis Game




    My pops and I






    I want to do a photo shoot here when i get her running.
