haha, the windows where tinted back before the Challenger blew up. Going to be hell getting the tint off but it's on my list to do. The car lives in the garage, there's no need for tint.Originally posted by Craizie View PostI'd just assume he was talking to you and I wouldn't fuck around and tint my windows. Egg is hard as shit to clean up in the summer.

This truck is now fixed. I was able to clean up the threads on the end of the crankshaft, then properly press on the new pulley and used a new ARP bolt. It needs a good cleaning, ditch the goofy tail lights, and I would like some kind of bed cover but options are limited for stepside beds.Originally posted by cool cat View PostI'll start with the 96 Chevy that hasn't been driven in almost a year, due to one bolt that wasn't installed correctly.
Whomever put the engine together either didn't use a new crank pulley bolt, didn't torque all the way or a combination of both. The bolt began to back out while driving, galled the threads and basically became stuck. i let it sit for two long thinking the bolt was permanently stuck, and would shear off when trying to remove. Two nights ago i borrowed a tool from homealone to hold the flywheel and with help, the bolt is out. Hopefully the crankshaft isn't damaged beyond easy repair, and all that is needed is a new bolt, pulley and a few other odds and ends.
I'll post up the progress of my Cougar later, I've had all the photobucket i can handle for a while.

No pics, but a buddy and I welded in a frame brace in the malibu tonight in preparation to notch the frame for a fatter tire (275-295 is max stock). I've had this car since 2003ish and I should have done this years ago. As soon as the car is on the ground a 6.0 and TKO are going in.DE OPPRESSO LIBER
