are 03/04s different somehow.

aside from the JA editions and they usually are rust free because of some different paint or sealant GM used on them... nope, 04 is just like a MC and just an L67

Aside from ghey color schemes...no

well motor and trans were fucked so it got a whole new low mile drivetrain L26/67 and a 3.05fdr non HD 04+ trans (so we now have its HD axcle for a spare for the TR since my only spare is currently in the TR after i stripped the splines last year.

going good,and its def getting there. today CJ and I shot the shit and did some work to this heap....
its deffinatly typical DDR slowjunk....as it sits right now:

I want those headers

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

they are alright headers but im not a fan of how much of a cunt they are to get the trans dipstick installed.
it would seem that the stripped crossover bolts were partially or wholey due to the coating applied to the headers and the nuts not being tapped to remove the excessive coating that destroyed the threads. i chased em with a tap but one was too far gone, the other apeared to be the point they hung the headers from as the threads were only slightly damaged, the other was threaded in and i put an additional nut on the backside for fear of pulling the threads out and having a leak down the road.
i still prefer welded and modified PS headers

took me 30minutes to dig through my pile of axles to find a minty nonHD pass axle too

i appear to have forgotten to give an honorable mention to CJ for stopping by and showing off his meticulously restored pacecar, solve an issue with his maf (and to my delight help pare down my rather large collection of 95-98 maf's) and lend a hand with hk's junkheap.
always nice to have an extra hand and hear the tale of a cars return to life...this is the second time ive been suprized by a dustmonkey
thanks bud

 

[smug]

we dust monkeys know how to work on engines too!

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

i said second didnt i?

nice debate was had on dust vs grease

 

[PaceCarBoozer]

Thanks James, It was a fun night! More of a dough monkey than a dust monkey though!

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

i just got an idea to antique HK
someone needs to get a sack of fine flour for TG

 

[m_dogg]

This...all...brigs a tear to my eye...

 

[bigsammoe]

[Turbocharged400sbc]
