I have a odd lull in work right now. I reckon i go mess with the passenger side window felts. And then mess with the trunk weatherstripping today if nothing else pops up.

Was outside "weatherproofing" the property in preparation for the coming storm, thought - "Maybe I'll see if that engine will free up." I grabbed a four foot long pry bar, and it didn't even budge.

Any suggestions? Bing searches say marvel mystery oil or pb blaster. I may buy a quart of whichever one I can find and pour it in. I'm not ready to give up yet.

I'd try also changing the oil & filter...pull the distributor and prime the oil pump for a while.

Finally finished the passenger side window felts today. Then I did my yard work.

Bill, engine is out of the car. By the paper trail, it was last on the road in 1978. I think the rings are fused to the cylinder walls.

Put the rubber A Arm dust shields on. Then got a bucket to sit on and cleaned the frame core support basically dog house area of splatter from the buffing. In preparation of installing the grill parts and chrome. Because once that is done i wont ever be able to get to that stuff again.

I am just rinky dink stuff now that got to be done. I mounted the windshield squirters on the hood. Battery tray. Found out I had the turn signal run through one of its holes. New part it didn't have the hole just a dimple. Drilled it out and got all that straightened out. It is in.
Now I messing with the quarter glass chrome and rubber.

On the Sprint...
Finally got around to swapping out the crappy organic disc pads that were supplied with the Wilwood conversion kit to a set of Wagner Thermo Quiet ceramic pads.
No more brake dust!!
Also, installed a pair of Metro door weatherstripping. Hopefully no more wind noise at highway speeds.

Drove the GMC to a local cruise last night...running good.
Now that the weather has cooled off some, I'm going to rebuild it's factory A/C system.

I know one thing. Now that it has headlights and looks like a car. It is killin me i want to drive it so bad. All those years I was okay because it just looked like a hunk-o-junk that wouldn't ever run. But that all changed here in the last month that it looks like you could hop right in and take off.
Grill should be here monday tracking says.

I am putting away tools. Clean start for the next phase. Cutting up and trowing away the empty boxes. Wow I filled 2 cans. I gonna have to wait till garbage day to do the rest LOL.
