It’s been so long since I’ve gone to a theater to watch a movie I can’t remember the one I was in. Today my sons took me to the one located at downtown that has been converted to large reclining seats and spacious area. What a difference in comfort and ambience watching the movie. It has me thinking of watching other flicks at the movie theaters as long as it has the latest comfort standards.
Beginning of the scorch week…
The weather prediction for the next week is 100F eight days in a row! I’ll be riding the motorcycle all those days since the vehicles would probably overheat at some point.
Enough cheese?
Wheels & Exhaust…
Took the Elco over to NorCal mufflers to get the driver side mounting bracket redone. It was dangling by the header bolts. Also, got new front tires installed at a local shop. I need to figure out how to remove the wheel balance weights residue that was left on from the previous installation.
This was the first time I had the Elco on a lift so I was able to look at the underside and see the setup. It has True Duals going straight into Flowmasters series exhaust. After the mufflers turned downs are used right below the cabin, no wonder it’s so freakin’ loud!
A couple of functional mods that make a huge difference are the front and rear slotted rotor, caliper disc braking system and the UMI Stage 4 kit suspension with Viking coil overs. This upgrade is combined hovers around the $5000 range.
Hello El Camino Continued…
Here are more details on my latest classic.
Hello 1970 El Camino…
Today I swapped my 2000 Chevy C3500 Dually for a 1970 El Camino.
Checking in…
It’s been a minute since I’ve made an entry. This is a place holder for Memorial Day weekend.
2000 Dually – Clear Headlights!
One situation that comes up almost every car flip is the head lights having haze build up, turning yellow, dull lenses etc.
Dually 2000 – Cargo & Brake Light…
Last week I went and checked the bulbs for the cargo and 3rd brake light. When I pulled out the stock lens there was no bulb base retainer in place. Luckily the wiring was still intact.
I ordered a LED replacement kit and it arrived today. This kit will serve as a cargo light as well as the 3rd brake light when brakes are applied. Everthing worked out as planned, the cargo light activates when either the interior light switch is set on or the driver door is in the open position.
