That^^^ sucks. Last time I had broken ribs they did nothing. Prayed not to sneeze, would see stars. Heal up fast!
ok...not the normal post in PROJECT PROGRESS..... but maybe showing some of real lives problems that ADD to the challenge of working/building on these 40+ yr old cars JUST FOR FUN!!!
Tag i guess I'm it.
action around 2:25... ;(
I ENDED up truck on passenger side, facing WRONG direction. Seems the Volvo tagged me just at/aft the passenger front wheel pushed me sideways before I ran over her A piller launching ME in an ENDOVER/twist landing on driver side roof with a couple barrel rolls to finish.

Damn!! Looks like she didn't even hit the brakes. How the hell could she miss the stop signs? Even I saw them and I'm watching a video.
Chit needs to move forward!!!. Just as in Wild Kingdom....."while my boys work on the TA (per my directions) ...I watch from a distance"...cause I can barely move around yet. So after diligent planning for the re-wire job...we get the engine harness out and measure the branch locations and swap out all spice wires, add in a disconnect for the MSD, add the proper plug for dizzy and get to the LAST wire to be replaced... the ignition HOT lead at the chassis plug....it takes a Delphi 59 series terminal...and I don't have 1....argh so it will go back together with all but that 1 damn wire fixed....but it is going back together asap. Headers required a little welding on the head flanges to get them to seal up GOOD.
Gotta LOVE CE auto electric supply!!!! Ordered what I needed MONDAY morning....received it Thursday night!!!
YAY... engine harness is done, headers are remachined as needed, now on to the headlight wiring and DASH...argh. Finally able to move around OK ...but can't crawl under the car ..FOR SURE!!! So moving forward ...half speed.. lol
So motor is between the fenders! headers ore in POSITION, hastely forgot to put bell housing on the first time we were lowering it in...so picked it back up..installed bell housing and all 36 bolts that go thru it! Set motor on mounts. With my sons help we went to install tranny only to realize the I forgot the $%^& clutch fork!!!! ARGH. so back off with bell housing to install fork then tranny! Everything is back on their mounts NOW.
headers tightened, z-bar in!...
on to the headlight system and fan wiring. (same loom) My son is starting to get the hang of crimping wire terminals!
